The Ten Steps to Golf Fitness
stretching routine is designed to lengthen the muscles used in the golf swing. It will give you a strong fluid easy swing that is the result of loose, relaxed muscles working together.



Most PGA professionals I work with tell me their students are unable to improve their swing because they cannot get into a proper position due to inflexibility. This causes the golfer to pull off line because they are swinging in a range they don’t have. They lose their balance, pull off the ball and have too many moving parts while trying to manipulate their hands and body to correct these swing faults before impact. This creates inconsistencies in accuracy and the swing tempo.

The Ten Step Strength and Conditioning Program focuses on all of the active muscles in your swing, making you solid over the ball, providing greater distance and allowing you to maintain proper positioning for the entire round.

Studies have shown that many swing faults are due to weak core muscles that cause changes in the spine during the swing and create putting inconsistencies. To maintain the proper position in your swing you need to have strength and endurance in all the primary golf muscles. This allows for a proper spine angle and correct positioning for the entire round. Most golfers complain of fatigue or golf breakdown during the back nine ---caused by weak, fatigued muscles—primarily abdominal and lower back muscles that are the core golf muscles. Core strength is the newest and most focused part of golf fitness being used by PGA professionals and amateurs alike.

The Ten Step Pre-Round Routine will get you loose and swinging easier while reducing your chance of injury. Add it to your practice routine of hitting balls and putting and you will play better golf.

One of the most common questions I get asked is "what stretches should I do before I play?" I have put together 10 simple stretches as a pre-round routine. This will help you feel looser and get your swing into that groove without the need for hitting a ton of practice balls. It takes more energy to swing against tight muscles.
