Winter Golf Fitness Training

For most of us, winter is well and truly upon us and the golfing season has sadly come to an end.

If you’re fortunate to live in warmer climates then you won’t even have golfing seasons! But for the rest of us that unfortunately have to live and play by the weather, this means we sadly have to put our clubs away and forget about golf for a good few months!

Okay,okay it’s not really that bad. Mind you, I’m in St Andrews in Scotland and the weather here today is dreadful. Bitter cold winds, grey skies, freezing, lashing rain…..I could go on. Check out the live webcam coming straight from The Old Course right here, right now! http://www.standrews.com/webcams/

Anyway, what I want to say is that although many of us put our clubs away over winter, we still needn’t forget about getting into shape for next year. Go ahead and put your clubs away, but get out your yoga mat and dust off your Swiss Balls, because we’re going to get FIT FOR GOLF 2008!!!

Do you want to seriously impress your friends, impress yourself, become the longest driver or the perfect putter? Well get serious to get fit over winter and you can do all of those things.

I’m just about to post loads of stretches onto my website www.extremegolffitness.com where you can start with your winter training.

Don’t forget FLEXIBILITY IS THE KEY TO A GREAT GOLF SWING. Start with a stretching program and next week, we’ll discuss the next step towards playing fantastic golf.

YOUR WINTER GOLF FITNESS PROGRAM STARTS HERE

Wow, it's been so long since I last blogged! Don't ask me where the time has gone, I can't believe we're well into October already!

We've had the Dunhill Links over here for the past week, which I only managed to go and see on the Sunday, which was great though. The weather stayed perfect for the whole week, thank goodness but as soon as everyone left town, the weather took a turn and it hasn't stopped raining since! Typical.

Well done to Nick Dougherty for winning at last, can you believe also that Niall (my son) managed to get his glove!..... amongst other players hats and autographs. We've got a whole box full of stuff he was kindly given from the players such as Rory McIlroy (so sweet), Henrik Stenson, Jimenez and many more.

Anyway, this week we need to talk about getting fit and getting into shape for next season over the winter, so I'll be posting a whole load of programs and plans for all you keen golfers out there to start on your winter program....you are planning a winter program aren't you?

Keep checking in or subscribe to this blog as I'll be updating it most days on how to plan your winter program.

IS TECHNOLOGY LOWERING GOLF SCORES?

It's always an interesting topic to get people stating their point of view.

According to Dr Bob Rotella:
Fifteen years ago the average American male golfer's handicap was 16.2. The average female golfer's handicap was 29. TODAY, the average American male golfer's handicap is 16.2 and the average female golfer's handicap is 29!

What does this mean?

GOLFER'S HAVEN'T IMPROVED DESPITE TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES!

My husband would now say; 'ah, but the courses are getting longer and more difficult ' and he'd be right.

What's your view?

CALLING ALL SENIOR GOLFERS

Okay, so you're finally a senior golfer. Nothing wrong with that, we're all going to be one one day.

From the age of 40, unfortunately we lose approximately 1lb of muscle mass per year and the process of aging brings degenerative joint changes, reduced range of motion and loss of balance to name but a few!

BUT THERE'S SOME GOOD NEWS FOR SENIOR GOLFERS.....

Even though you've been playing golf for years, you're the group who are most likely to see a dramatic improvement in your golf game due to following a specific golf fitness program.

You can even slow down the natural process of aging by starting your golf fitness program, improving your flexibility, stability and strength and at the same time IMPROVE YOUR GOLF. What more could you ask for from a golf fitness program?

If you're a senior golfer and are following a golf fitness program, the strength training phase of your program will also help you in building muscle mass, which is essential for seniors.
