This past weekend was the Masters. One of the most historic and watched golf matches in the world and it got me thinking a lot about those who play golf, not necessarily at the level of those in the Masters but in general.

How many of you who read this play golf? How many people do you know who play golf? Do you, if you play, or those you know who play, participate in any fitness program that is not golf?
I bring this up because one attribute of many of my clients, especially during the summers, are that they are golfers. Often, improving some aspect of their golf game is important to them and through weight training and conditioning, we can make that happen.
Professional and collegiate golfers, and sometimes high school, all participate in a strength & conditioning plan to improve some aspects of their game. We can look at it in a variety of ways, from injury prevention to improving the ease of the swing, and many other attributes. It's simple though, take two golfers of the same ability, take one through an S&C program while leave the other to solely playing golf, and the one through the S&C program is going to play better.
Over the next few weeks, I'll be going into some insight of how to look into an S&C Program for golfers. This will highlight the purpose of the programs and the benefits that you would receive if you were to participate in a program of some sort. Also, the rationale of why to not "go it alone" and have someone on standby for physical training.
