Golf Conditioning - Millimeters in the gym = Yards off the tee

How to get the most from your game with a little time in the gym.

Golf is a sport of precision, as much about millimetres as it is yards. A couple of millimetres out on your clubface angle equal many yards out on the green for example. It’s for this reason that conditioning for Golf performance has seen such a rapid uptake amongst the professional ranks in the last ten years. The ability to repeat shots with time-after-time precision, getting the millimetres right is what wins tournaments and it doesn’t happen by accident.

To achieve repeatable good form takes practice, practice on the ranges, practice with the putter, practice, practice, practice. This is the point at which the Golf Biomechanic becomes your best friend! We all know the saying; “Practice makes perfect!” Well no, it doesn’t. I’d offer this alternative; “Perfect practice makes perfect!”

You can only hope to learn the way to strike an effective repeatable shot if you are physically able to repeat the movement with accuracy time and time again. If every time you tee off your axis of rotation varies slightly because you have insufficient stabilising strength through the torso you are playing a slightly different shot each time and hoping for a good outcome.

The role of the Golf Biomechanic is to give you the tools to put perfect practice into action. The Biomechanic gives you the stability, strength and flexibility you need to be able to make precise repeatable movement and the Golf Club Pro’ or Coach shows you the best way to put it all together to come up with your best Golf.

Working together like this you get amazing results and the millimetres corrected in the athlete become yards added to the drive!
