Why Strength Training Is Critical for Golf Power and Distance
Power is a product of strength and speed. If you’re not actively strength training, you’re missing out on a huge opportunity to improve your golf. However, strength alone isn’t enough—developing proper stability and control fundamentals ensures that added power translates into consistent, accurate shots.
Strength training doesn’t need to be overly complicated. Simply perform four exercises in each workout that covers each of the following movements:
- Lower Body – Quad/Knee Dominant (Example: Squat)
- Lower Body – Glute/Hip Dominant (Example: Glute Bridge or Deadlift)
- Upper Body – Pull (Example: Row or Pull-Up)
- Upper Body – Push (Example: Push-up, Chest Press, Shoulder Press)
How to Build an Effective Golf Strength Workout
If you try these exercises and you find them to be too challenging or uncomfortable, do not continue, until you have consulted with your physician. All exercises for golf should be customized to your needs after a proper evaluation.
