Golf Workouts For Winter

Golf workouts for winter is a great approach to taking advantage of the time you now have available to improve your golf since you’re not playing as much, if not at all. It’s a way to stay connected to your golf game when you’re not able to play due to the conditions (snow, temperatures, ice, etc.).

Tip: If you are an early-morning golfer, do yourself a favor and don't choose sneaker-style golf shoes. Although you can find sneaker-style shoes that have waterproofing, most do not have this feature, and they will be thoroughly wet by the end of your game of golf.

Have you gone into depression mode when winter hits and you can’t play golf anymore? I know this use to happen to me until I finally moved to a year-round nice climate. This transition from playing golf regularly to not at all can be depressing.

What do you do with all the time you now have since you’re not playing?

Tip: Giving your toes a wiggle can tell you a lot about your posture when you are ready for a golf swing. If this action causes your feet to shift significantly, then you are not properly balanced over the ball.

The answer? Golf workouts for the winter! This is your “off-season” and like most athletes they work on their body’s to take their game to the next level. This is a time where you evaluate your game and work on your weaknesses.

Tip: If you want to have a good golf swing, your arms must be strong, flexible and limber. When you are preparing for a golf game, try working out, stretching, and getting a nice massage.

A common denominator for most golfers, especially senior golfers is “physical capabilities”. This is your current level of golf-specific strength and flexibility. It is highly unlikely you have no physical limitations in your golf swing. 80% or more of amateur golfers play with an injury during the season. This would tell me there is a physical issue.

Tip: You need to get as much practice as you can swinging your golf club. If you can get a simulation machine or borrow one, use it to help you practice.

What better time than winter to do golf workouts to greatly improve this situation. There is no excuse. You’ve got the time and hopefully you’ve got the motivation to improve your game. You’ve just got to set up a game plan in regards to your golf workouts for winter.

Tip: If slicing your ball off the tee gives you trouble, consider making alterations to your stance, like putting your forward foot closer in to the ball. By "closing" the stance you take, you will be naturally balanced and more likely to hit the ball onto the fairway.

The first step is to get a physical evaluation done to diagnose your current level of fitness specific to golf. You can hire a local golf fitness trainer or look on the web. Golf workouts are becoming so popular you can’t miss finding out information about them.

Tip: See if any area courses are offering discounts before you head to the greens. Try searching the Internet, calling your local pro-shop, and checking your newspaper for clippings.

Once you’ve gotten your golf fitness evaluation, assess the areas that need the most work and spend the majority of your time on those areas. Most likely this would be flexibility and core strength. These are two very common areas that are lacking and can make the most impact on your golf improvement.

Tip: Stand around four feet in back of the ball, and focus on the spot that you're trying to send it. At this time, you also need to factor in the wind and other conditions.

You will be shocked at your progress if you stick with it through the entire winter. The first time you step on the range, you’ll feel like a different golfer. It will be like an “out-of-body” experience. You’ll soon realize this is what you’ve been missing all along.

So when you put those clubs up for the winter and go into depression mode…remember this article and start your golf workouts for winter.
