How many times have you started a new golf season with very high scores, short drives and aches and pains?  Am I talking to you?  Let's be honest.  It happens more times than you'd like.  But why not do it different this time?  Instead of going into deep depression that the season is over  keep golf in the top of your mind by starting a golf-specific fitness program. 

Don't let your clubs get dusty and forget about your game.  Prepare your body in anticipation of next spring.  It's no fun to come off the course feeling spent (in more ways than one) when you could have energy to spare. You have between 4-6 months to greatly improve your strength, flexibility and stamina.  It would be the wisest thing to do to improve your golf for next season.

When you begin the season with a broken body, you're taking two steps back.  Take a leap forward and prepare your body by getting your fitness program for golf in motion.  Think of it this way.  What a great opportunity to get the edge on your playing partners and win all the money.  Wouldn't that get their goat? 

Finally, you'll get the chance to redeem yourself from a previous season that found you paying out more than receiving and being the brunt of all jokes in the clubhouse after every round.  We've all been there - but no longer right?  This is the winter to make the commitment and do it!  No excuses.  No more reasons to put it off.  You may realize it's not easy but nothing worth getting is easy.

Golf fitness is a very popular topic these days among all the pros, teachers and even amateurs.  It's no secret that if you get your body fitter, stronger and more flexible you will swing better and hit longer drives that produce lower scores. 

That's what we all want right?  What a feeling to be the longest (and straightest) hitter in your group.  Always hitting your approach shot last because you were the furthest down the fairway.  Those are the kinds of thoughts you should have this winter while you're working out.

 

So don't let this winter (off-season) go by without improving your body.  You heard it here first.  All it takes is 2-3 times a week for 30-40 minutes to dramatically improve your game.  Not much of a sacrifice to play better golf is it?
