Fit for 18 Holes - Recap

Welcome to the recap of Fit for 18 Holes! With my golf fitness classes you can improve your golf game and increase your fitness level! For this series we are using a weighted club for the dynamic warm up, a regular iron, driver or golf cart for the on course exercises.

When you incorporate these exercises while playing, you improve flexibility and decrease the risk of injury associated with your golf swing. The weighted club can be purchased in the Pro Shop.

Take these simple steps before beginning:
  • Step 1: Do a dynamic warm up with the weighted club before the practice range.
  • Step 2: Continue the flexibility exercises starting at the tee box of the 2nd hole while you await your turn to tee off. You will have 2 exercises for every other tee box or you can choose to do one exercise for every tee box.
  • Step 3: Each week you will have a new exercise. This is a progressive workout which means that every week you will have a new exercise to perform along with the exercise from weeks prior. Execute each stretch to a comfortable position and hold for 20-30 seconds.
  • Step 4: Perform the exercise upon approaching the next tee box to stay flexible and injury free for maximum results!
Here are the benefits you can receive from this series:
  • Improve balance
  • Increase flexibility
  • Improve coordination
  • Strengthen core muscles: abdominal, mid and lower back muscles

Kelly, I am a senior golfer and have been idle since December following a little surgery. In getting in shape to start playing again in late March what are some good drills or flexibility exercises I could do? Thanks.
