A simple addition that many golfers claim gives them better scores by lenmcgrane

Like to to improve your game? The usual advice is to develop your swing.

But more and more golfers are talking about having big improvements because they're doing physical fitness training. And put an improved swing with extra strength and fitness, and the results are startling.

One of the game's well hidden secrets is the unexpected effect of physical training.

Your fitness has to match your sport. When you are fit for golf you may not be grid iron fit, for example. Physical training for golf has to develop those muscles and body parts that you use when playing golf, and particularly when you swing. That means feet, knees, hamstrings, hips, arms, upper body and neck.

All these parts of the body have to be ready for the pressures of golf. And only exercise will make them ready.

Flexibility and strength are also needed for high performance golf. The top golfers have both, as you can tell when you see them swing seemingly effortlessly with a perfectly balanced union of power and flexibility. Power visualized!

As you develop these two make sure you become strong as you need core strength and stability to play good golf.

If this is a little daunting, there is some good news. The training you'll need to do for this can be done in your basement with hand weights and exercise tubes.

A lot of golfers are just wasting their time exercising in a gym to get fit. Because they are exercising hard but not knowing which specific exercising helps which muscles and, as a result, their golf score.

Instead, you should work on the specific muscles I listed above.

When you exercise for golf you not only look like a pro, you score like one.
