Fitness For Golf Isn�t Just For The Pros

Fitness for golf is a common term on the television these days. I�m sure you�ve heard it a few times. The secret is out. Fitness for golf has come to the forefront of total golf performance.

Golfers have heard it enough. The golf swing is a physically abusive movement to the human body�unless you take the time to prepare for it.

I was watching the Golf Channel (I do that frequently) the other day, with Tiger on. He said it perfectly.

He said, �it would be absurd to think a football player, basketball player or baseball player wouldn�t physically work on his body to play better golf. Why wouldn�t a golfer do the same thing?�

I was sitting there saying, �thank you Tiger��fitness for golf is here to stay.

If it takes the Number One golfer in the world to convince you�then I�m all for it.

How many times have you walked off the course or practice range with a twinge or two in your body? How about when you got home? Did it get worse?

What�s that tell you?

I hope you realize how important fitness for golf is, in not only helping your prevent injury, but utilize your true potential to it�s fullest.

Doesn�t it make sense to improve your flexibility AND strength to hit longer drives that go straighter? Doesn�t it also make sense to improve your fitness for golf as you get older�to slow down the aging process?

Don�t look at it as �work�, �sweating� or �effort�. Look at it as �playing your best game ever!�

You will continue to hear about fitness for golf, when it comes to performing better golf.

Tiger Woods Workout Is Not What You Think
Tiger Woods workout is supposedly this �hush-hush� secret nobody knows about, but everybody is dying to find out. Tiger is human like every other golfer and realizes the importance of conditioning for golf. He brought a new meaning to the word golf as a �sport�.

Tiger Woods workout has been rumored to be grueling and highly intensive. I was on a golf forum and even heard someone say Tiger Woods bench presses 300 pounds. I almost fell out of my chair.

For Tiger to put his rotator cuffs, chest and shoulder muscles at risk by bench pressing 300 pounds is a bit extreme. I can confidently say Tiger does not do heavy bench presses. They do no benefit to the golf swing, and put the shoulder comple...

Golf - Why Does Tiger, Phil And Vijay Have Obscene Power?
Who doesn�t want to pound the golf ball 300-plus yards? We see PGA Tour players all the time ripping it down the middle of the fairway, and we would all love to do it too.

Take a look at the long drive champions pounding it well over 400 yards. Amazing if you ask me.

How do they do it? Everyone�s got an opinion on that question, but lets take a look at one part of the equation. The shoulder turn is an integral part of what allows these guys to crank on their drivers.

Take a look at Tiger, Phil, or Vijay on tour. Watch what they do with their driver on the backswing.

All these guys take a monster of a shoulder turn, coiling their bodies, and just waiting to unload it on the downswing.

This allows them ...
