Why You Need A Golf Fitness Program - 5/18/08
by Curt Smith
Most people think that you do not need to do any exercises to be good at such a leisurely and laid back game as golf. But they're wrong. Golf may look easy to those who do not play it, but golf, surprisingly, is a sport that requires the same degree of athleticism that other sports demand of their players.
This is reason why you need a good golf fitness program, especially if you are looking to play this game seriously. Any good golf enthusiast knows the importance of strength, power, flexibility, stability, and body awareness when it comes to playing a good game, and there's no better way to achieve all these than to follow a golf fitness program, preferably one that is specifically made for you.
Most golf fitness programs start off by identifying your weak points and physical limitations through a thorough fitness evaluation and as soon as this is done, a plan to overcome said limitations are made so that you can get a new and improved swing to inspire the awe and envy of your golfing buddies.
A good golf fitness program should cover these main areas:
Strength exercises
Strength is a major factor in your swing and the distance that your ball is able to cover. But aside from this, strength together with flexibility work together to give you a more consistent and reliable golf swing. Strength training should be foremost on your mind when considering a golf fitness program since it lays down the foundation for stability, balance, power, and coordination. Strong tendons and muscles, the result of following a regular and effective golf fitness program, also reduces the risk of injury because they have an improved ability to distribute the stress brought about by the gold swing uniformly throughout the body.
Stretching exercises
Strength training is the way to improve your flexibility. It also reduces the incidence of lower back pain which often comes after a long of hitting the balls.
Cardio exercises-
Cardio exercise are a great way to boost your endurance and stamina, which you need to stock up on especially because you 'll be doing a lot of walking if you do not have a golf cart to take you from one hole to another. The less tired you are while playing, the better your concentration and swing will be.
Nutrition plan
Playing golf requires you to be out under the sun and walking from one hole to another. To keep yourself from getting tired all too soon take a meal rich in protein and carbs before a golf game, and try to take small snacks of fruit or nuts to keep your blood sugar at levels that will keep you playing until the 18th hole and beyond.
To prevent injury, develop a superior swing that will be the source of envy of your golf buddies and to enjoy each and every game, start with a good golf fitness program now.

Choosing Golf Clubs - 5/08/08
By Brad Lind 05/08/2008
Ok. Here are the basics. A golf club has three parts - the head, the shaft and the grip. A standard set of golf clubs consists of three woods (the Driver, #3, and #5 fairway woods), eight irons (#3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, and PW), and a putter - that's twelve clubs in all. According to the rules of golf, and we should all play by the rules, you can carry fourteen clubs in your bag, so many golfers add a specialty wood or another iron.
Now, let's have a look at the different types of clubs.
Drivers & Fairway woods
These clubs are used to hit longer shots. That's a basic yet apt way to look at it. If a golf hole is a par four or five from tee to green, most golfers would choose to use a wood.
The driver, or the 1 Wood, has the lowest loft of any golf club. Loft is the angle of the club face that controls trajectory and affects distance. A driver has a loft between 7 and 12 degrees. Better golfers have traditionally favored drivers with less than 10 degrees of loft, which require a lot more skill to hit.
Most golfers also carry a #3 and #5 fairway wood as part of their arsenal. A #3 wood has a loft of 15 degrees, and a #5 wood has a loft of 18 degrees. The higher the golf club number, the higher the loft. The #3 and #5 wood are commonly referred to as fairway woods, because they are most often used during the second shot of play, when you are supposed to be on the fairway.
Hybrids
Hybrids are a recent innovation to golf. A hybrid is a combination of an iron and a wood and is an easier to hit alternative to a long iron. Hybrids are versatile enough to be used in any situation. Hybrids come in a range of four lofts - 16 (#2), 19 (#3), 22 (#4) and 25 (#5) Degrees. Hybrids replace their equivalent number long iron, e.g. a #3 hybrid will replace a #3 iron and a #2 hybrid can be used to replace a #5 fairway wood.
Irons
Irons are generally used for shorter distances and more control than drivers and fairway woods. The closer you are to the green, the higher the iron you will use. A standard set of irons consists of #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8 and #9 and the PITCHING WEDGE (PW). A sandwedge is generally a good option to purchase for shots out of sand traps. The #3 and #4 irons are harder to hit than the higher numbered irons. Many golfers choose to replace the #3 and #4 iron with higher lofted woods or hybrids which are easier to hit than traditional long irons, resulting in comparable distances.
Wedges
Wedges are really just specialty irons. The first wedge is the Pitching Wedge (PW), which is usually between 52 and 56 degrees in loft. The PW is the highest lofted iron in a standard set and lowest loft of the wedges. Lob wedges range from 58 to 64 degrees and are used for close range short and high shots to overcome obstacles close to the green. Wedges are extremely useful for your short game and it is beneficial to keep a selection of them in your bag.
Sand Wedges are another type of wedge and are designed to get you out of the dreaded sand traps. They have a shorter shaft and a more angled face to get under the ball in order to exit a bunker.
Putters
As the adage goes "Drive for show, Putt for dough". The putter usually gets you in the hole, so it can be assumed, that choosing the right putter is critical to your game. Putters come in various styles and types.: short, belly, long, bent, center-hosel, heel-toe, mallet, and so on. When choosing a putter the main things to consider are the: weighting, balance and feel. Better putters provide alignment aids to help you visualize the line from your ball to the target.
