Fit for golf is a term you should have heard by now. Its all over the television and now becoming mainstream with amateur golfers wanting to reach their full potential. Golfers are now realizing there is a fitness component to golf, and are seriously considering getting fit for golf.
It may sound like an oxymoron, but tell me if youve ever hurt yourself playing golf. How about a strained lower back? Or, a sore shoulder after playing? The list of injuries from swinging a golf club is a mile long.
This would defend the point that getting fit for golf is NOT an oxymoron, but in fact a necessity, if you want to end the frustration, and play like you know you are capable of.
Golf is a physical game that puts a tremendous amount of stress on the body. Muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints pay the price if your golf muscles are not strong enough to withstand the forces from swing at up to 100 mph.
Think about that!
You swing a 3 foot implement at up to 100 mph, while maintaining a very dynamic body position. Thats physically impossible unless youve got the muscular strength and flexibility to achieve these swing mechanics.
