As we sit here waiting for another foot of snow its hard to imagine spring is just a few weeks away according to the calendar. For those that play golf this means you will be out on the links soon. While you wait for the snow to melt now is the time to get to WS&C and work on your strength to improve your golf game. The best way to improve your distance distance off the tee is to get stronger not by purchasing that new driver. Spend the next two months with us learning to squat, press, and deadlift so you can get STRONG to improve your game. Here is a quote from research that shows gaining strength will improve your club head speed. Get strong now and be ready when the snow melts. Gordon et al., 2009 investigated the relationship of strength, power and flexibility to club head speed. The results showed a significant correlation between chest strength and club head speed These results are similar to those reported by Hetu et al., 1998 and Westcott et al., 1996 who studied changes in golf performance following a strength (Table 2) and flexibility training program. Significant increases in several physical fitness measurements (+6.2% grip, +14.2% chest press, +18.1% leg extension and +47.3% trunk rotation) were related to an improved drive performance (+6% in CHS)
