Golf Flexibility
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 doesnt have to be a complicated issue. You dont 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. Youve 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.
Its amazing to see how quickly the senior golfer can see improvement. Ive 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 youre a senior golfer, participate regularly in a program of golf flexibility.
