Is this you? “It always takes 3-4 holes for my back to warm up.” “After 9 holes, my shoulder aches.” “My swing is so stiff!” I got you covered. We need to get you moving better. Below, I have a free 5 minute warm-up that will stop you from having any of those excuses above. All I ask is that give you it a try. The problem is that people think they need to watch a swing video on YouTube to fix their issue instead of improving their movement. Don't get me wrong, your swing most likely needs work like the...

Many golfers I train lack the range of motion required to get into certain positions. Frequent visits to the range won’t help your game if you...

The game of golf is transitioning right before our eyes. With players like Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau putting on muscle mass and striping 320+ yard drives down the fairway. How have they transformed their body? Strength training, and proper nutrition of course.   Due to the popularity of golfers working out, there have been many misguided and/or uneducated people training. My goal in this article is to give basic guidance and set the foundation for those looking to train properly for golf.   The three keys I will discuss are the following: Mobility Foundational Strength Rotational Power   Mobility...
