Better Golf – Strength Training Can Help
The never-ending goal to play better golf. Strength training is an approach that can not only improve your power and distance, but also prevent those nagging golf injuries that affect your swing…and even keep you from playing.
I am always surprised when golfers tell me they would never participate in a golf strength training program.
A perfect example is the picture that is accompanying this post. I am on a stability utilizing my core strength and stabilization, and I am doing a single arm fly with a dumbell.
This exercise has two benefits for golfers. First, you will strengthen your shoulder/chest strength to protect this area from injuries such as rotator cuff, and secondly you are improving the range of motion which will give you greater width on both your backswing and follow through, giving you maximum power.
