Golf- Improve your performance
62% of golfers suffered injury causing an average of 5 weeks golfing lost per year…….the golfer experiences injuries at a greater rate than most people realise.
So why is golf so difficult?!
Because golf is a very lopsided sport, it puts uneven stresses on your body. When you practice your swing, you use the same muscles over and over. This repetitive one-sided action can lead to injury, muscle imbalances and faults such as slicing.
Even with the worlds best coaching, if you have a physical problem underlying a swing fault, you may understand what you are doing wrong, you may know what to do to make it better, but it does not happen. Just imagine how much better your golf would be if your body worked to help your swing? And when you become more flexible in the right areas, you will find it easier to change your technique without having anything else to think about when you swing.
By exercising smart you begin to use the body the way it is designed to be used, which gives you far more control and consistently.
Many exercises take about as long as brushing your teeth, the trick is knowing which ones are the right ones for you.
Let us show you how to take control
Top 5 Hints
Warm up
A quick warm up will help you to develop effortless power right from the first tee.
Action s-
Walk briskly for 5 minutes to heat the muscles you use with play.
Areas which have suffered injury in the past need to be loosened to prevent any further damage.
Follow your stretches with a few practice swings using different clubs to help limber up.
Our warm up exercises will help you to increase your power and control faults during play. Stay loose during the round
Because golf is a stop start sport, the muscles which you use most when you swing the club will stiffen with play, often causing muscle imbalances to develop which alter your swing path.
Actions - Stretch during the game to loosen the areas which stiffen up. Improve your pelvis muscle control
Your pelvis muscles help to power and control your swing path. This will give your swing stability and reduces the stress going through your lower back.
Action - Squeeze your buttocks together between golf holes and before you tee up to promote power. Improve your posture
Posture is a reflection of your golfing potential. If your shoulders are rounded forward, this will alter your ability to direct the swing path.
Action - Square your shoulders out as regularly as possible, lifting your chest bone up and avoid sitting slumped forward. Loosen your middle back
When your middle back is loose, you will develop more wind up to power the club. By loosening here, there will be less stress directed into your lower back.
Action - Place your club behind your upper back and hook it into your elbows. Now twist your upper body, keeping your hip bones facing forward. This will loosen and stretch the middle back which will reduce the stress on your body and improve power.
