Fitness For Golf Isn’t Just For The Pros

by: Mike Pedersen
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.

Golf Swing Exercises Can Add Power Quickly

by: Mike Pedersen
Golf swing exercises are the missing link to adding tremendous power to your golf swing quickly. To be able to execute an effective golf swing...golf swing exercises will enhance your bodies abilitiy to move throughout the required ranges of motion...enabling you to hit drives you know you are capable of.

The other reason why golf swing exercises are so important is in the fact that a golf swing by its’ very nature is a very unnatural and awkward movement of the body and muscles. It therefore stands to reason that the body will usually resist the golf swing action and this is why it appears to be so difficult to master.

Lower Your Golf Score off The Course

by: Mike Pedersen
To lower your golf score, you’ve got to put some time in. This is the main reason golfers quit the game. Golf is a very challenging game that requires intense concentration, skill, and many physical attributes.

One approach to lower your golf score is one that is off the course and does not involve swinging a club, taking lessons or buying more gimmicky training aids.

The approach I’m talking about is working on your “machine” to produce a repeatable golf swing for 18 holes. Are you currently capable to maintain a mechanically sound swing for the entire round? If you are honest in answering that question, I’ll bet your answer is no.

Strengthening Your Golf Swing Muscles Will Greatly Improve Your Golf Game

by: Mike Pedersen
Golf swing muscles? Is there such a thing? You didn’t think they were important or existed did you? But I’m sure when you’ve gone home after a round of golf with a sore back you were reminded very quickly, you do in fact have golf swing muscles.

Having been a certified conditioning professional for over 20 years and the last 10 with golfers exclusively…I can tell you with one hundred percent confidence there is definitely a muscular component to the golf swing. And if the muscles have not been trained to work in a specific sequence, with minimal tension and maximum power, the expected results will not be achieved.

Choosing a Golf Club

Cast Iron Golf Club

The cast iron golf club is made from cast iron and the majority of the weight of the golf club is around the perimeter. Because of this the sweet spot is larger and this type of golf club is really great for beginners or those who have trouble making full contact.

Golfing Products… And What you Need To Know Before Purchasing

by: Mike Pedersen
In recent years, there has been a dramatic rise in the number of golfing products available in the market. Most notably golfing products that are supposed to dramatically improve one’s game, virtually overnight.

Smart entrepreneurs have cashed in on the fact that almost every golfer is constantly looking for a way to improve their game and reduce their handicap.

The result is that so many golfing products have flooded the market and the results have been predictable. You will come across many golfers who have garages filled with golfing products that did not help them in any way to improve on their game.

How Timing The Golf Swing Is So Critical To Consistent Shots

by: Mike Pedersen
Timing the golf swing is extremely critical. It is not possible to complete a good golf swing or execute the perfect golf swing without getting your timing right.

Exercise plays a vital part in helping a golfer get their timing of the golf swing right. This is because timing involves the co-ordination of both the mind and the body.

It is useless to get it all right on your mind when your body and the muscles are not prepared to obey instructions and follow through. There is no way you will get the timing of the golf swing right without the co-operation of your body and muscles.
