A well-rounded golfer will have more than just a proper technique. They also need physical fitness to perform at an optimal level. Just like any other sport, golf requires high levels of physical and mental performance from the athlete. That’s why two of the focuses in our Gary Gilchrist Golf Academy Full-Time Junior Program are physical fitness and mental performance. In Part One of this two-part blog series, we’ll talk about why fitness is an important pillar of being a golf champion.
Become a Better Athlete, Become a Better Golfer
Put simply, the more athletic an individual is, the better their golf game gets. Sure, the mechanics are crucial to being a great golfer, but being physically fit will allow you to perform better and increase your endurance on the links. By focusing on your fitness, you can reap various benefits, such as:
- Swing control
- More endurance during a match
- Swing power and speed
- Increase swing mobility
- Decrease the chance of injury
These are all important facets of any golf game. By maintaining a high level of physical fitness, you’ll get all of these benefits and performing at peak levels will be that much easier.
