Golf is no longer the sport it once was. Long ago it was a sport for middle aged and older men & women, which had relaxation at its center. Now it is much like any other sport with big money, big publicity and of course big fitness at its center.
To be a golf pro, you need to be fit. This doesn’t mean that you have to look like a body builder or a decathlon runner. You have to be in good condition to:
a. Avoid injuries
b. Perform at your maximum potential
Investing in good fitness equipment is as important as investing in good golf clubs. You need to get the right equipment as well. The first thing you will need is a pair of dumbbells or hand weights. This can be used in various different strength building exercises.
Next, getting some resistance bands will aid you in practicing your swing. The varying resistance levels will be ideal in imitating the swing and condition your muscles in the right way. Getting a stability ball will help you with you stability and balance. This is very similar to a beach ball and is quite inexpensive to purchase. In addition to this, you can also you a medicine ball to improve you strength and power. Medicine ball exercises will go towards improving the club head speed and distance.
As you can see, this equipment is easy to take along with you when you travel on the circuit. By using them daily and diligently, you can not only improve your game, but also keep yourself in good health.
