Titleist even has a Performance Institute that is built around physical conditioning for the golfer. I firmly believe all golfers should practice a fitness routine to compliment their golf skills practice.
I would not be playing golf today if I didn't luckily discover a golf fitness routine myself. I was injured and playing in pain sapped all the enjoyment and love I had for the game of golf. I was faced with a decision to quit playing the game for a long period of time and quite possibly forever. It is said that golf is a game you can play well into your senior years. I believe that is true as long as you are physically able to play and to play without pain. The full golf swing is a very explosive movement, and it is a full body movement that is very taxing if you are not physically prepared to play the game. A lot of shoulder and low back injuries occur in recreational golfers. These injuries are difficult to play around.
Unless you are enjoying the game it becomes way too frustrating to invest the resources, financially and emotionally, and the time into playing even on a weekly basis. Even though golf equipment technology has improved dramatically over the past decade, the handicap index for all golfers has actually not improved at all. So what is the problem. Golfers do not practice their golf skills as much, and golfers today live more of a sedentary lifestyle than in the past. The majority of golf is played using a riding golf cart. Very few golfers walk when they play golf today. Physically golfers are not at a optimal level.
The need for a golf fitness routine is at an all time high based upon the modern golfers lifestyle and the use of a riding golf cart when playing. So what do you look for in a golf fitness routine?
The five Absolute Elements that are needed to increase your level of golf fitness and golf performance: Mobility, Stability, Balance, Strength, Power.
But more importantly we need a routine that we can practice that does not take a long time investment.
When I ask golfers about golf fitness or fitness in general, they all believe that if they were in better condition and stronger that they would improve their game, but the number one factor on why they do not practice a golf fitness routine is - time.
When asked what an "ideal" golf fitness practice would be, here is the consensus:
- No gym or fitness facility needed, home based
- Less than 20 minutes a practice session
- Very little equipment needed, something that is portable and travels easily
- A practice routine that covers all five of the absolute golf performance elements
Platinum Golf Fitness was designed to achieve all of the above. With one simple tool, a kettlebell, and the correct practice sessions performed in less than 20 minutes a session 3 to 4 times a weeks, you can build your self into a better golfing machine.
Your body is the most tunable piece of golf equipment you will ever own, you have these five tunable aspects Mobility, Stability, Balance, Strength, Power. PGF starts with mobility, then moves you through stability and balance, then you get stronger, and then add in the dynamic aspect to help you build golfing power. In a very short time you will "feel" the difference in your golf performance and in your every day activities.
This is a revolutionary approach to the game of golf using a very old school method. PGF is not a conventional fitness system of cardio, strength, flexibility worked in isolation. We use practice movements that work the entire body in all five elements simultaneously and the carry over effect to golf performance is unprecedented.
The program is in it's final stages and will shorty be released to the golfing public. If you have an interest please contact me at al@ironsolid.com and I will put you on the list to be notified for the initial offering at a special discounted purchase price, along with some bonus gifts for being part of the new golf fitness revolution.
