Improve Your Golf Game

Want to get the most out of your golf swing?  Some of the most common problems during your golf swing are caused by physical limitations in your body.  These same limitations can cause pain in different areas as well.  






Here are some examples of common swing faults that can be helped with proper exercises specific to your swing:


Loss of Posture or C-Posture (think hunched over)
This will cause a limitation in your backswing and lack of rotation resulting in limited distance and lower back pain.


Early Extension (your butt comes away from the back line)
Your hips are coming closer to the ball during the downswing which causes the upper body to lift up and results in inconsistencies with ball striking.


Simple at home tip: Balance is key when it comes to golf.  You should be able to balance standing on one leg at a time for at least 30 seconds each side.  Now challenge yourself and repeat by doing it with your eyes closed!    


"After working with Jaime, I could see greater core and abdominal strength and more flexibility all over. I could not believe how much my balance had improved in my golf swing. With my increased shoulder turn, I was 25-30 yards longer than before." -Bill C.


At Core Sport we have training from Titleist which can provide you with the tools and corrective exercises to increase your range of motion, stability, and strength specific to whichever swing fault ails you.  Book a private session today or reserve your spot in one of our golf workshops throughout the year!
