Resistance Training for Better Golf

No doubt you have already heard of the benefits that can be gained from resistance training in different sports, but many people are unaware of the fact that resistance training can also be highly beneficial to the golfer.

Obviously, with all things being equal, a stronger golfer will be able to hit the ball further and any added distance that can be gained can have a huge affect on your scorecard at the end of a round.

When you add all the little improvements together that can be garnered from the correct clubs, to the best fitting shoes, to the simple things like remaining hydrated you can see substantial overall gains to your performance.

Now add resistance training to the equation, even if you only do it for 20 minutes three times per week and you will be sure to see an improvement in your game.

Resistance training also adds to your endurance and with the likelihood of fatigue being eliminated from the last holes of your game you can dramatically reduce your handicap.

I have seen golfers make massive changes to their performance with nothing more than an increase in their fitness from resistance training.

Imagine how well John Daly might play if he was as fit and healthy as Tiger Woods. I am sure anyone can see that there would be an improvement in his game.

Small improvements at that level can be translated into big paydays.

Daly is good, but he could certainly be better, and the same applies to us.

Strength and fitness are just another part of the recipe for a top performance on the course.

In addition to the strength and endurance aspects of resistance training, it will also help to assist your posture and this can eliminate any areas of concern in your stance and swing when you know what to address.
