A better golf swing is inevitable...for any golfer, with the right
approach. It doesn't matter age or ability. It's a reality...and can
happen very quickly!
To achieve a better golf swing, a golfer needs to realize just how
physically demanding it is on the human body. You are swing an object
(golf club) at up to 100 mph. This puts a tremendous amount of
pressure on the joints, tendons, ligaments and muscles.
If these tissues of the body are weak, tight or brittle they will
rupture and eliminate you from playing golf indefinitely. If it
doesn't, your performance will pay the price. The outcome either way
is not what you want...but will happen without an emphasis on
strengthening these areas.
Along with strengthening comes stretching. Stretching muscles to
attain a better golf swing is common among most golfers. Although it
is common, most golfers don't stretch. Why? Because it is viewed as
'work'. But if it were viewed as a form of golf improvement it would
be a different story.
Swing mechanics cannot be improved if your golf specific strength and
flexibility are ignored. It is an impossibility, unless you compensate
for this lack of capabilities in your golf swing. Teaching pros are
now starting to realize there is a definite connection between golf
swing mechanics and fitness....
