Golf Fitness Comes to Sullivan's Island!

Primetime Fitness

Springtime finds many golf courses inundated with golfers who have been inside all winter, as well as those who have continued to play right on through the colder months.  However, it might be worth a few shots off your handicap to spend just a little more time indoors, working on specific weaknesses that are preventing you from making progress.
Most golfers know that there is a lot that goes into a powerful, efficient, and accurate swing – it takes more than just hours of practice on the driving range.  Of course it requires knowledge of proper mechanics – for example, how to grip the club, how to execute a proper swing, and how to aim.  One must also have the proper equipment.  Trying to play golf with an ill-fitted set of clubs can turn your game into a disaster!
Then there is a third element, one that only fairly recently has taken priority amongst the better golfers.  With the arrival of Tiger’s sculpted upper body and powerful swing on the professional golf tour in the mid-1990’s, many golfers began to take note of their own physical conditioning.  Recreational and professional golfers alike began to spend more time in the gym in search of a lower handicap.
We all know that regular exercise improves your fitness, and with better general fitness you may experience a more powerful swing and higher club speed.  Additionally, the improved overall health that occurs as a result of regular exercise will undoubtedly extend the lifespan of your game as you get older, without the aches and pains commonly experienced by many golfers.  However, professional golfers are finding that it can take more than a daily dose of cardio and a few days of weight training to improve your game.  
It is easy to understand that each person has their own swing style.  But golfers’ physical weaknesses and/or imbalances may prevent them from developing the most efficient swing within their style, hence the introduction of Golf Fitness here at PrimeTime Fitness.  Using a golf-specific screening assessment, a Titleist Performance Institute Certified Golf Fitness Professional can identify weaknesses and limitations which may affect specific aspects of your swing.  Based on the results of the assessment, the TPI Golf Fitness Pro can then target those problem areas and help you improve your power and accuracy through a fitness-oriented approach.  The TPI Certified Golf Fitness Pro is skilled in designing and implementing programs that will not only improve your overall conditioning, but will also help take your golf game to the next level!
Stay tuned for the next issue of Charleston Golf News, when Meredith uses a TPI screening with Kasey to identify his weaknesses and develop a program to improve his game!
