| |  | When I was a child learning to play golf, my father and I used to spend a fair amount of our practice time together hitting out of bunkers. I never questioned his methods but in hindsight he was “saving” me from the mental and physical stresses of hitting out of a bunker. | | |  | I have a saying that with knowledge we can create change. Learning the mechanics of the golf swing, particularly at impact will help you understand the importance of lower body strength for increasing your distance. The spine is most susceptible if the golfer slides towards the target. | | |  | One of the biggest challenges as it relates to irons is consistency. What can we do physically to become more consistent? Core stability and strength is one of the keys to maintaining a good spine angle. | | |  | You know that aching feeling you get in your back around the 13th hole? You are not alone! Many golfers will experience muscle fatigue and lower back pain at some point during the round. How can you minimize lower back and glute discomfort during the round? | | |  | This week we tackle the issue of fatigue in the lower body. If you experience aches and pains in the lower extremities after your round, find it difficult to play more than one day a week because of pain in the back, hips, knees and ankles the following three, simple exercises are for you. | | |  | C posture is one of the most common physical restrictions I see as a fitness professional. C posture refers to the “C” shape in the thoracic spine or as some of us refer to this issue as a rounded back or slumped shoulders. Often a result of too much sitting, aging or over training the chest muscles without proper flexibility conditioning, this physical restriction is easily resolved. | | Related Video
