The repetitive nature of the golf swing predisposes both the professional and amateur golfer to injury. The objective of any exercise program is to enhance performance as well as prevent injury.

My training programs train the neuromuscular system, focusing on the fitness components necessary for reproducing one successful swing after another.

Those components include;

• Functional flexibility
• Golf-specific muscular strength
• Dynamic postural balance and coordination.

There are several factors I consider when organising a workout schedule:

Time of season:  Are we planning for in-season or off-season work? What are the tournaments or weekly medals on which we want to focus?

Time of week:  Is it the beginning of the week, tournament day, or final round? Practice time available. How much practice time is available each week given other commitments, etc.?

Volume versus intensity:  Is it the time of year when we want to build a strength base (typically the off-season) or do we want to create power (late in the off-season, or early in the season)?

Loaded versus unloaded:  I save loaded exercises for earlier in the workout and unloaded exercises for later in a workout or after the player has hit a lot of practice balls.

Repetition versus isometric hold:  Do you have an injury that will be aggravated by movement or do we need to strengthen the muscle throughout the full range of motion?

Current health status:  Are you fatigued after or are you injured or ill?

 

How will you benefit from golf specific training?

• Help you feel better while playing by teaching you the proper body mechanics for the golf swing
• Help bring your game to the next level
• Help you play longer without onset fatigue
• Reduce the risk of a golf swing related injury
• Give you strengthening exercises associated with increasing the power of the golf swing
• Increase your flexibility so you can perform an unrestricted golf swing
• Help you swing the club with more accuracy and confidence
• Adapt your golf swing for physical limitations that interfere with the production of the golf swing
