Golf Flexibility Is A Key Component For Senior Golfers
Golf flexibility is a common term among senior golfers. Most
senior golfers know they have a declining level of golf
flexibility and distance. But why then do most of them not
participate in a golf flexibility program?
If you are in this group of golfers, do you walk off the course
frustrated with your performance? Are you dissatisfied with your
driving distance? Do you seem to have a hard time repeating a
good swing for 18 holes?
The answer is right in front of you!
It is a known fact to hit the ball maximum yardage you need a
certain level of golf flexibility that will generate clubhead
speed and power at impact. This level is such that a golfer can
rotate approximately 90 degrees with his upper body, and only 45
degrees with his lower body creating the "x-factor" for top
level distances.
It is impossible to do this at a certain age unless you maintain
a consistent golf flexibility routine in your daily activities.
Muscles that are not used (and/or stretched) lose elasticity and
the ability to produce power.
Along with this loss of elasticity is a rapid decline in
strength. The results are subpar performances and a lower level
of enjoyment of the game. This is why we see so many golfers
quitting the game.
Golf flexibility doesn't have to be a complicated issue. You
don't need fancy, expensive equipment to do an effective routine
that will produce the results you want. But you do have to be
aware of your specific limitations and what areas you should
focus on to maximum your time investment.
Doing a golf fitness evaluation to determine your weak areas is
crucial. You've got to have some idea of what is keeping you
from a better game. Once you determine your personal
limitations, you can do some simple golf flexibility exercises
to greatly improve this situation.
It's amazing to see how quickly the senior golfer can see
improvement. I've seen some dramatic numbers with the golfers of
my membership site and customers of my dvds and manual. The
emails I receive are so motivating; I ask permission to insert
them on my websites as success stories.
The human body is a machine! Treat it nicely and it will do what
you want. Mistreat it and the result is ugly. The
"use-it-or-lose-it" phrase is a good one. That is exactly how
the body responds. With stimulus (exercise) the body responds
positively. Without it the decline is rapid.
If you're a senior golfer, participate regularly in a program of
golf flexibility.
