Golf is one of the fastest rising participation sports in the world. The fact is golfers will do anything to hit the ball longer and lower their handicap! Golfers regularly spend as much as £4,000 on a set of clubs, hoping for an extra few meters on their drive. The golf industry generates billions of pounds in sales every year!
But despite all the technological improvements in golf equipment, the average handicap for both males and females has not dropped in the past 16 years. Fifty-five years ago, golfers were winning tournaments such as the US Masters Championships with a score of 279; a score that would win many major tournaments around the world today!
So much for golf technology!
What golfers are now discovering is that the clubs don’t play the game, the golfer does! The only way to achieve a lower handicap is to improve the function of the golfer: the person who actually swings the club!
That’s where the exercise specialist or golf pro can help. Our Golf Performance Specialists help to improve performance in golfers by addressing golf-specific conditioning needs.
Golfers need this service to reduce the incidence of injury. 53% of male and 45% of female golfers suffer from low back pain, and 30% of all touring professionals are playing injured at any given time?
The sport is also rampant with wrist problems, which is not surprising, considering the lack of core conditioning in most golfers, leading to overuse of the arms.
With Golf Performance Coaching, the need for improved physical conditioning will not only improve performance, the body will be balanced and postural stability achieved. With a well stable, well-balanced body it’s less likely to be injured.
The Coaching is based upon the Flexibility – Stability – Strength – Power principle conditioning the golfer in a manner that is conductive to optimal golf performance.
Our specialists are trained to the highest level and recognised by the PGA. |
