Golf Strength Program
This is an eighteen (18) session program for ages
10 through adult golfers. This program is designed for
the golfer who trains two to three times a week at 55
minutes per session.
Through a comprehensive Functional Movement
Screen, we can now identify and overcome any
physical restrictions that are limiting your potential.
Find out exactly what your weaknesses are, and what
exercises need to be performed in order to overcome
them! After that, you will receive a Written
Evaluation explaining why you swing the club
the way you do, what physical weaknesses need to be
addressed, and a Fitness Handicap. Once we know what
those weaknesses are, you'll receive a Customized
Strength Program based on your screen results
to get you on your way to playing better golf!
Have the screen done separately, or combine it with
a strength training program. I'll work with your PGA
teaching professional, chiropractor, and physical therapist
to ensure a better result on the course!
Each session is divided into two major training
units:
After
all, would you rather feel like you played 18
after 36, or 36 after 18?
Because Transverse Abdominis Recruitment is
critical in every sport, the golf program has
a more extensive progression than other programs.
It emphasizes proper spine and body stabilization.
Linear Core, Core Stability, and Rotational
Core development increase core and abdominal
strength. It is enhanced by the “medball”
power section.
Upper and Lower Body Prehabilitation exercises
increase stability. They also aid in joint orientation
consistency, decreasing the likelihood of injury.
Forearm Strength and Stability will aid
in club control. Greater control increases accuracy
of drives, approach shots, and chips.
Energy System Development (ESD) is the
final component and increases endurance for players.
Increasing general endurance insures consistent
power development from the first tee to the 18th
fairway! |
1. Active-Dynamic Warm-up, to get the body ready for
movement.
2. Strength, Stability, Core, and Prehab work comprises
the remainder of the session. Combinations of the following
components will create increased athleticism, and a
better balanced, more powerful golfer:
- Strength
- Medicine Ball Power
- Transverse Abdominis Activation
- Linear Core
- Core Stability
- Rotational Core
- Upper Body Prehabilitation
- Lower Body Prehabilitation
- Forearm Strength
- Energy System Development (ESD)
The Strength component is a quadriceps and hamstring
dominant exercise, including upper body pressing and
pulling. Rotational strength and stability exercise
is also included here, and is crucial for training high-speed
movement in the transverse plane.
Medicine Ball Power is a great tool for increasing
power development. It includes linear and rotational
power and rotational stability, critical in the game
of golf. These exercises closely mimic actual golf movement
patterns.
