Masters Golf
Today is the start of the Masters, are you ready to Master your Golf technique?
Strength & Conditioning has grown in Golf so much because swing issues and swing limitations have been proven to be based around the player’s current physical status, not their skill level. The conditioning element isn’t in place just for swing development, but also for increasing the player’s ability to perform maximum power repeatedly over the course of many hours. As well as the skills involved in Golf, if we can be physically capable to play the game this will work in tandem to reduce your handicap whilst also avoiding injuries. Our series of programmes have been designed to take you from the beginning of a new training cycle, all the way through to competition, whilst preparing you for optimal performance. We recommend that you follow the training programmes in the order we specify, to help you structure your training correctly for long term development, so that you produce your best possible results. We have identified the key physical attributes for Golf that will develop your performance. We have, as a result, written programmes designed to target these attributes specifically for the following areas: aerobic conditioning, stability, strength, power and speed.
The Golf Swing: Physical or Skill
Has the Masters and Rory's final day performance inspired you to improve your own game?
Dave Smith has come across many common issues as a Performance Coach over the years, below are his thoughts on problems his golfing clients have come to him with.
The Golf Swing: Physical or Skill
Overview:
If you are not happy with your swing, have you asked yourself these questions:
Am I stable enough to deliver a consistent swing?
Am I mobile enough to achieve the correct shapes for a better clubhead path?
Am I strong enough to hold my body in the positions I’m trying to achieve?
If you haven’t, then you need to start asking them now! In my experience most amateur players overlook these key questions and just focus on what they know, and to be honest, it's usually the easiest option as well.
Common Causes:
Golfers and golfer pros for many years have created a mind-set where they believe just hitting balls at the range will give them the perfect swing. This fixed mind-set needs to change, because a better swing and hitting a longer ball is developed and achieved away from the golf course, in the gym.
Active Solutions:
In short, become a better athlete, or if you are at the start of this physical development journey and have a young training age, at least look at becoming a better physically functioning human being. So, what I mean by this is, you need to think about your current health and physical activity levels, and how specific they are to developing your golf swing. There are many tools out there to assess your current physical capabilities, like a functional movement screen, this can be used to analysis any physical imbalances that you may have.

Sean Mayer – Sprint Track Cycling
“David does a great job in delivering tailored programmes, he makes it simple to understand and educates when required. He has given me a greater understanding on how to periodise my training, therefore resulting in sustainable strength gains. Additionally, he provides honest feedback on where and how to improve. It is also helpful that he has a practical understanding from experiencing training and competing himself, this is balanced with his advanced knowledge in the strength and conditioning discipline.”
