Winter Golf

Here in Southcentral Pennsylvania, we have a couple leagues where you can play a tournament round of golf at least once a week. Pros and amateurs are invited to play, and, unless there is a lot of snow on the ground, or the course is unplayable, a good number of golfers will brave the elements.

Personally, I've been more of a fair weather player, and prefer temperatures at least above 45 degrees. If you are similar to me, there is no need to waste your golf down time.

With that in mind, winter is a great time to work on your body, because a more fit body will help your game immensely. If you are carrying some extra weight, winter time is a good time to shed those extra pounds. I guarantee it will help your golf game as it will be more easy to swing the golf club, not to mention get around the golf course.

I recommend a program that combines the three primary elements of fitness: aerobic conditioning, flexibility training, and strength training. In as little as 15-20 minutes each day, you can accomplish quite a bit, particularly if you combine fitness training with positive changes in your diet, if indeed your diet needs changes!

Don't let your time away from golf be a waste! Even without your clubs in hand, you can make improvements to your golf game!
