I just got off the golf course and was paired up with a couple of great guys…hey Dave and Terry!

Within a couple of holes…they figured out I lifted weights and started asking questions. Their initial reaction was…”weight training for golfers? I would never do that! It would kill my game!”

I just laughed and kept playing.

Well a couple of holes later…I went birdie, par, par and they started to get real curious about golf weight training. I teased them saying, it is killing my game too and they got the point.

Needless to say…when we got done, they wanted to know my golf fitness website URL and said they were going straight home to get my golf fitness dvds.

We will see if they are all talk, but either way, I think I converted two more golfers. LOL

Weight lifting for golf may be a term that golfers used to quiver at just a couple of years ago. Not anymore thanks to Tiger, Annika, and all the professional golfers doing it.

Weight lifting for golf is not what you think. It’s not going to a gym and lifting with the “muscle-heads”; it’s not lifting heavy weights til you can’t move; and it’s not going to cause you to “lose feel” in your golf swing.

On the contrary, weight lifting for golf is dynamic exercises incorporating balance, stability, coordination, body awareness and golf swing mechanics. This type of program is actually fun because you can see the definite benefits to your golf swing as you’re doing it.

Having an end to your means is critical; and a weight lifting for golf program will give you that.

I’ve said this in this blog, and I’ll keep saying it…

A weight lifting for golf program should incorporate both strength and stretching exercises specific to golf. You will then get the best of both worlds. Improved golf specific strength and a better range of motion throughout your golf swing.

There is a lot of confusion among golfers when it comes to a golf weight training program.

You’ve most likely heard all the pros are doing it…but you want to know what they are doing. There is no magic it to it…you just need to be consistent at what golf weight training program you choose. You get out of it what you put into it.

A golf weight training program should incorporate balance, flexibility, coordination, core work and golf swing sequence movements if it is to be successful.
