Currently strength and conditioning is an integral part of professional golf. In the past the amateur golfer was unaware of the physical conditioning requirements needed to support the golf swing. The Titleist Performance Institute Golf Fitness Program is now providing the amateur golfer with the same opportunity as the professional golfer.
The golf swing is one of the most difficult athletic actions in sport today. A combination of mobility and stability along with strength and power are required for an efficient golf swing. If any of these physical parameters are limited, the ability to execute each phase of the golf swing, in the correct order, and with the proper timing will be compromised. This will limit the golfer’s ability to perform the golf swing proficiently. These inefficiencies will lead to a breakdown in the biomechanics of the swing. Thanks to the Titleist Fitness screen a customized golf fitness program can now be designed specifically for the individual golfer based on the inefficiencies identified.
The connection to execute the golf swing properly is known as the “body swing connection.” Implementation of a golf specific strength and conditioning program will provide the golfer the best opportunity to execute the biomechanics of the golf swing efficiently and improve this “body swing connection.”
One important aspect that must be understood before starting fitness training for golf, is in order for improvements to occur in the golf swing, not only must the golfer develop the underlying physical requirements of the golf swing, these requirements need to be developed specifically in the positions, movement patterns, and physical requirements for the golf swing. This results in a better transfer of training from the conditioning program to performance on the golf course.
The biomechanics of the golf swing require the development of very specific physical parameters within the body. Improvement with the physical parameters gives the golfer the best opportunity to execute the golf swing efficiently. The development of mobility and stability as well as strength and power is best completed through a golf specific strength and conditioning program. The Titleist Performance Institute Golf Fitness Program offers exactly what the golfer needs. If the amateur golfer keeps these concepts in mind, this program will implement the most effective golf exercises that best transfer the needed improvements to the golf course.
