The sensational entry into the game by legendary golfer
Tiger Woods, at the tender age of 20, introduced power
play
golf fitness into a game that had traditionally
been looked at as a leisure sport where technique was
much more important and necessary than any physical
fitness or strength.
Never before had the world witnessed such a physically
fit golfer playing at the highest levels of the game.
Research has produced some amazing revelations about
Tiger Woods and power play
golf fitness.
For example it is widely known that golfers can
generally achieve a club head speed of 100 M.P.H. at
the bottom of their swing. Research however shows that
Tiger Woods can reach up to 125 M.P.H. Little wonder
that he is able to achieve those amazing distances with
his drives.
Apart from the technique employed, fitness and the
correct conditioning of the muscles plays a huge role.
This is one of the reasons why many professionals also
wishing to enjoy the benefits of power play
golf
fitness have taken to physical work-outs and strength
training.
But how effective is strength training in improving a
golfer's game? In other words how effective is power
play
golf fitness?
Probably the best illustration of this is to examine
the difference between junior golfers and *****s.
Actually the difference is typically strength.
I have personally worked with hundreds of junior
golfers and within a very short time of doing specific
strength training, their drives increased by as much as
50 yards.
That is how effective strength training can be. And
when you really think about it, it is the factor that
is making the difference between golfers on the course
these days.
Actually there is little doubt that power play
golf
fitness will continue to transform the golf game for a
long time to come.
