A general fitness program does not provide the focused progression that should be followed for an individual to truly improve athletic performance. True athletic preparation demands much more time, effort and organization. The results, however, can be that much more dramatic. In training, you get out of it exactly what you put into it. I've seen athletes in other sports fail because of their lack of physical preparation.
Golf is no different.
A physically unprepared golfer will never reach their true potential. An effective golf program should include exercises that improve mobility and stability, as well as the strength of core muscles in the wrists, legs, and shoulders. General programs lead to general results, but a training program designed to meet the unique needs of the golfer and the individual can help lead to better, more consistent swings, and greater enjoyment of the game. This is just an overview of what a golfer should consider as they define a training program that will improve their play.
