Hi Slats,

Creating a program to help you with your golf fitness is something I can do. I don't like to give general advice as everybody is different and will have specific needs and limitations. However, having said that for most golfers I would focus on the following;

- building a degree of aerobic fitness

- base level of overall body strength

- specific focus on core work

- specific focus on stability and more importantly dynamic stability (i.e. being able to maintain a stable body position throughout the swing)

- specific focus on power development (despite what people think - golf is an 'explosive' sport)

- specific focus on flexibility - this is one of the most beneficial aspects of fitness but tends to get ignored by most people. It is particularly important in golf.


Next year I am planning to specialise solely on golf fitness; hopefully this will allow me to give up sitting at a desk for a living!
