Golf Conditioning Myths
Overview
Golf conditioning is becoming increasingly important. Traditionally seen as a leisurely game, modern golfers are now leaner, stronger, and fitter. Many golfers previously struggled with how to incorporate an effective fitness regimen. Here, we debunk common myths about golf conditioning and reveal the truths behind them.
Myth 1: "I'll bulk up too much, affecting my swing."
Golf-specific conditioning won't lead to unwanted bulk. Building significant muscle requires lifting heavy weights with low repetitions and dramatically increasing calorie intake. Instead, golf conditioning involves moderate weights, with 12-15 repetitions over 30-45 minutes. This approach boosts strength and endurance without altering swing mechanics.
Myth 2: "Lifting weights will make me less flexible."
Actually, the opposite is true. Weak muscles can also be tight. Resistance training enhances blood flow, works through the golf-specific range of motion, and strengthens tendons and ligaments. Paired with a stretching routine, weight training will increase flexibility rather than hinder it.
Myth 3: "Weight training will diminish my feel for the game."
Strengthening golf-specific muscles enhances body control. A sport-specific program improves functional strength, leading to better control and balance. As a result, your feel for the game actually improves. Strength training emphasizes body awareness, muscular control, and coordination?"all essential for enhancing your golf performance.
Conclusion
Golf conditioning is suitable for all ages, from teens (with supervision) to those in their 80s. I've worked with individuals in their 70s and 80s who doubled their strength, thanks to starting from a low fitness level. It's never too late to begin. Consult a fitness professional or golf conditioning specialist to design a personalized program, and watch your game improve beyond expectations. Start your golf conditioning journey today!
