The game of golf came to be known and is now recognized worldwide inspired from the golden rules of the performing drills on which it was based. Including flexibility and strength, one needs to develop a repeatable consistent swing attitude towards this play. Flexibility and strength go hand in hand for the development of a reliable and consistent swing.

Flexibility reduces stress on many muscles, joints and connective tissues. Restriction among movement in regard to these links means that our body possesses compensation that results in injury. For example, restrictive shoulder motion in adverse effects can cause an excess of spinal rotation, which can further cause injury to our shoulders and back. As the saying goes “practice make a man perfect” so don’t hesitate in practicing golf, as it will always make you a better player and bring flexibility to your body which is necessary to have an efficient golf swing.

To keep the tendons and the ligaments strong and to keep you free of injury, another very key thing that a sportsman playing golf should have is to develop strength. Strength only helps in improving the coordination and the body’s ability to grab and absorb the golf ball. Strength in the hips and trunk, which is actually known as the core strength makes the base for extremities movements. Even, strength helps in making a spinal alignment and a proper posture, which is important for a sportsman. For example an angle on wedge that is an angle measured from the shaft’s center to ground in regard to degrees should be around 64 degrees. This helps in having a comfortable and less stressful axis of rotation.

Imperfect postures can lead to thin shots, hooks, pulls and pushes, slices, injury etc and no good player would like to slice the golf ball, which results in both: losses of distance and accuracy. This in turn costs strokes on the golf course. Good posture leads to a good balance which promotes crisp ball contact and prevents from hip slide or sway.

Also, before practicing for the game you need to do a little warm-up like jogging, some exercises or even some special drills like hit drill which again requires strength and stamina. For this, you can also join strength training and flexibility program. Strength training helps in improving muscular endurance which delays the switching on of the fatigue. Fatigue can lead to breakdown in one or the other link within our kinetic chain.

It can also lead to wrong posture, timing and balance coordination and can make more vulnerable injury.

The above two golden words will surely help in prevention of injury and will promote a more efficient and a well coordinated golf swing. Don’t make your hands only a piece of confusion or puzzle at the time of playing golf; rather put your full concentration and coordination to make a centerpiece come out of a great golf swing.
