Travis Talks – Off Season Fitness

Travis Mann — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 17:10:51 +0000

Although the snow is poised to fly in the Rockies and dust may accumulate on your clubs over the off-season. That doesn’t mean your body should accumulate rust over the winter. Keeping an active lifestyle in the off-season promotes an improved swing in the spring. Core strength is paramount to a successful golf swing; the following outlines some key exercises to stay active over the winter.

Lesson 1.

Stability in the golf swing comes from the core, the ability to maintain posture directly relates to consistent contact at impact. That stability is enhanced through exercising the core. The following exercise will improve your ability to maintain your spine angle during the postural positions of the golf swing.

Required equipment: Exercise ball.

Roll out into a bridge position by positioning your shoulders and head on the ball. Feet are shoulder width apart. Hips are aligned with your knees and shoulders (core needs to be engaged to make this possible). Extend your arms out to the sides, palms up.

Starting position:

From this position, roll side to side on your shoulders as far as possible on the ball while keeping your hips elevated in line with your knees and shoulders.

Lesson 2.

The next component of core conditioning is rotary mobility strength. The ability of the upper and lower body’s to work together to create rotational force generates most of the power in the golf swing. Try the following exercise to assist you in creating more power and hitting the ball further.

Required equipment: Mat, 4 – 6 lb medicine ball (with bounce), concrete wall/rebounder or a partner.

While on one knee, position yourself 3 to 5 feet away from the wall. Your knee closest the wall will be up, your knee furthest from the wall will be on the floor.

Starting position:

From this position you are going to throw the ball towards the wall, using a full shoulder rotation to generate the throwing force. Extend your arms towards the ball and release.

Release position:

The opposite is required to catch the ball, rotate away from the wall to catch the ball and disperse the force of the catch over a distance. A smooth transition from release to catch and recoil will require your core to be engaged through the full rotation, thus building the muscles required to create rotary power required in the golf swing.

Recoil position:

Switch sides, if you threw over your right knee face the other direction and throw over your left knee.

8 repetitions are required on each side.

Tip From the Pro – Golfing in the Fall

Golf Pro Steve Haggard — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 22:35:11 +0000

As the seasons change from warm to not so warm the way you play the game must change as well. Cooler temperatures mean more clothes and a restricted range of motion (you can’t hit the ball as far). More moisture in the air will also have an effect on how the ball flies (more moisture, more air resistance – the shorter the balls goes). We will discuss a few tips that may make your game a bit easier as the leaves begin to change.

Clothing:

Layer your clothing so you can change with the temperature. A good base layer like an Under Armour or Dunning compression shirt, a golf shirt and either a sweater, fleece or lined wind jacket will keep your torso and arms warm while still giving you the best range of motion. Wearing a pair of rain pants will keep the wind off your legs. All are removable should you luck out and get a great day.

Hitting shots:

With a restricted range of motion and the air being heavier (more moisture) the ball will not fly as far so take extra club. If you normally hit your 7 iron 150 yards try hitting a 6 iron. This will allow you to swing a little softer and hit the ball a bit lower keeping it under the wind. Should you be playing on a windy day the “punch shot” is a very effective way to navigate your way around the golf course.

The punch shot:

Set up in an “open” position (chest pointed a little towards the target)
Position ball “back” in your stance (off your back foot)
Ensure your hands are “pressed forward” (if you were to draw a line down from your hands to the ground the ball will be behind that line)
Take a ¾ backswing
Swing through with full force but don’t complete the follow through
Stop the swing when your hands are level with your belt – this will keep the ball low
It is very important to take extra club as you are only taking a ¾ backswing you won’t hit it as far as if you were taking a full swing.
