Yesterday we learn that LPGA female stars are making progress?today we can get some tips.
This is clearly the most under-estimated portion of the game. Golfers tend to ignore the cardiovascular component of golf. However, walkers cover an approximate walking distance of four to five miles each round. Even cart riders put in their fair share of walking, depending on local cart rules, weather conditions and following errant shots.
Poor cardiovascular conditioning can certainly have a negative impact on your game. In his book entitled "How I Play Golf" Tiger Woods said "fatigue can affect your focus and cause you to make a bad decision. I never want to lose a tournament because of a bad decision precipitated by my being out of shape."
The most important rule in a golf conditioning program is to work and develop strength from the core region of the body outward.
Stabilization comes in many forms for the golfer including postural stabilization, trunk stabilization and joint stabilization.
Strength comes in many forms with regard to the golf swing. Strong back muscles allow the golfer to endure the explosive movements in the swing.
Combined muscle strength produces balance and coordination. Strong ligaments and tendons also prevent the joints from going beyond their range of motion.
Flexibility is the single most important physical characteristic likely to influence your golf swing. A tight body creates restricted motion in the swing and produces injuries as a form of compensation.
Today's female golfer knows that hard work creates results and translates to a better position in the playing field. If you are looking for ways to take yourself to the top of the leader board, then place the needs of your body at the top of your priority list to make a definitive difference in your game.
