18 holes has a great deal to do with the final outcome. I know golfers want to improve because I’m very busy with swing lessons and clinics covering all aspects of the game; but fitness and nutrition are more than often overlooked. Play your best, feel your best, and look your best. A moderate exercise program will go a long way to improve your golfing experience, no matter what level you are. Center of GraIt wasn’t too long ago that golf was considered a passive, non-athletic sport that could be played with ease (at some level) and was not considered exercise. A lot has changed in the last 10 years with the world’s best players considered among the world’s class athletes and the rest of the field clamoring to get into the best physical shape of their lives in order to compete.

The short answer to that question is overall health and quality of life, but it goes much deeper than that. Whether you realize it or not, golf is a very demanding sport, both physically and mentally. Your body must recruit specific muscle groups to fire in a pre-determined sequence in order to produce the desired result, while other muscle groups stabilise and guide the swing, during which time your brain makes thousands of decisions and calculations to tell your muscles how to react during your round. When your muscles fatigue and dehydrate, they don’t work efficiently and make adjustments contrary to what they are told to do, resulting in poorly executed shots. On the same line, when your body becomes de-hydrated and fatigued, your brain doesn’t make good decisions and the results can be disastrous.

When playing golf, you are in direct competition with yourself and the golf course. We all want to play better and no matter what your scoring goals are, your physical conditioning, flexibility, and the ability to make good decisions for the full 18 holes has a great deal to do with the final outcome.
