Golf fitness instructor may be a term you’ve never heard before, but it’s one that is becoming popular thanks to all the touring pros using them and even the golf channel having an entire segment on golf fitness.

No More Golf Lessons Or Tips

How many times have you taken a golf lesson only to play worse? How about during your lesson your teaching pro tells you, you need to get a certain position and you physically can t do it. More lessons won t help. You need to eliminate the limitation to be able to do what your pro wants.

I don t want to bash golf teaching professionals because they are critical for golfers who need to understand golf swing mechanics. Most, if not all the golf fitness instructors don t know the golf swing well enough to even take a guess at it.

Improve Golf Swing

Your body determines how well you’ll swing the golf club!

I have said this hundreds of times and will continue to say it. Hitting more balls will not improve your golf swing mechanics if you have physical limitations that don t allow your body to perform the movements required during the golf swing.

When you finally come to that realization and partake in a golf fitness routine, you ll see a golf game you have possibly never seen before. This is not hype it s a fact. Get your body moving better, and your golf swing takes care of itself.

A golf fitness instructor at the very least should have a basic understanding of the golf swing. So many golf fitness professionals spend all their time getting certifications, but when it comes time to actually work with a golfer, they don t have a clue where to begin.

Golf Training Knowledge And Experience

Finding out the experience in the field is critical in choosing a golf fitness instructor to work with. How many years have they worked in this specialty? I m not talking about general fitness training; I m talking about golf specific training. How many golf clients did he or she have or is currently working with? What kind of success did the golf clients achieve? Place a phone call or two and you ll find out real quick.

Golf Swing Improvement

If you are looking to improve your golf swing power, mechanics and consistency a credible golf fitness trainer can help you achieve these goals much quicker.

Why?

Because a golf fitness trainer will assess your physical limitations and golf swing faults and prescribe a golf strength and flexibility routine to eliminate these limitations and correct your golf swing faults.

Your body dictates your golf outcome! When you address the above concerns with the guidance of a golf fitness trainer, your golf swing will transform. Your body will finally do what you mind has wanted it to do all along!

Golf Fitness Sucess

One very important aspect a golf fitness instructor can bring to the table is adherence to your golf training program. Your consistency with your program will ultimately determine your outcome. Your golf performance will dramatically improve if you are consistent and will not if you quit early or don t give your body a chance to improve.

Your golf fitness instructor will be your rock! He/she will be with you every step of the way. Your conistency will determine your outcome. This outcome is a power golf swing that is repeatable for 18 holes!

Picture this outcome in times of struggle. Envision walking off the course victorious. You’ll never be handing over the money after the round ever again!

All of this can be accomplished with a golf fitness instructor.

If you are considering taking up the great sport of golf for exercise, business concerns, or merely as a hobby, you should make sure you are picking the right golf clubs for your particular golf game. Your golf clubs will have a huge impact on how well you play the game and if you are like most people, how well you play the game will be a factor in whether or not you continue playing.

Most beginners go out and buy a set of clubs based on a friend s recommendation or a television commercial with a famous personality. This is a bad idea for many reasons. First of all, just because your friends clubs or sets of clubs work well for them doesn t mean they wouldn t have a better game with a different club or set of clubs. Second, what works best for your friends may not be the best for you. And finally, you can bet that your favorite golfer, while endorsing a companies product, is going to have his or her clubs custom made by that company rather than using the off the shelf variety.

The best way to go in order choose the right golf clubs for you is to go to a shop that specializes in golf clubs. These shops will have equipment that can help identify your specific needs in a club. For one thing your height and arm length will impact the length of shaft you will need on a golf club. You want to be able to address the ball comfortably each and every time. If your clubs are too long or too short this could be part of your problem. Also selecting the right type of material for your shaft will have an impact on your game.

Do you have a tendency to hit the ball hard and far, but find that you have very little control over where the ball goes? You may need a less flexible shaft. If you have the opposite problem, excellent control but no distance, a graphite shaft may be what your inner golfer needs.

You may also find that you need different levels of controls for different clubs. A pre-made, mass marketed set is not always your best choice when it comes to purchasing golf clubs. Of course you may not want to go to an incredible amount of expense in purchasing a set if you aren t sure you ll enjoy the sport (trust me there will be days you hate it, then you ll hit that one perfect shot and remember why you love it so much). At the same time, the right equipment can help you enjoy playing that much better.

If you can t justify the expense in your mind, then you may want to start out with an inexpensive beginners set and add one piece at a time as your skills and love of the game improve. That s the way I did it, though now I wish I had had the better equipment to begin with. Whatever you decide to do, don t overlook the impact that a good set of clubs will have on your golf game.
