Frustrated by your mediocre results so far on the golf course this year? Here are four quick insights from Justin Levine at the California Fitness Academy to help prepare your body for better performances and lower golf scores.
Improve Your Flexibility
Golf takes a tremendous amount of range of motion. If you lack shoulder turn and hip mobility, you will create bad movement, low back pain and an inconsistent golf swing. If you take the time to foam roll, stretch and work on mobility, you will see a difference in the way you move and swing the club.
Better Posture
When you golf, a good set-up starts the swing. And if you have poor posture, you will have a bad starting position, causing bad mechanics during the swing, and it could create lower back issues. To regain and work on posture, focus on strengthening the small stabilizers of the shoulders, core and hips. This will create a stable and balanced body and will give you the appropriate functional strength to maintain good posture throughout the golf swing.
