Exercises To Improve Your Golf Swing!

1. Kettlebell See Saw Presses: If you are looking for a great exercise to improve your golf swing then you have got to engage in exercises and lifts that stimulate your core muscles. Kettlebell see saw presses are great for strengthening your core and shoulder muscles for the game of golf. All you need to make it happen is a pair of kettlebells and a good flat training space.

To execute this lift you will want to place the bells on the ground between your feet with your stance slightly wider than shoulder width apart. Next, clean and rack the bells to your chest with your body locked and tense. From below your chin lift one bell up and press it above your head. Once you press the bell and start to lower it press the opposite kettlebell before allowing the first one to come to rest at the racked position below your chin. Keep pressing the bells in an up and down continuous motion mimicking a see saw, hence the name. This is the perfect golf workout for improving your swing.
2. Kettlebell Swings: Kettlebell swings are the base strength endurance lift that you can perform with the kettlebell in order to develop superior core and hip strength to enhance your golf fitness regimen. The great thing about this lift is that it is very dynamic and teaches you how to build strength through resisted movement.

Kettlebell swings can be performed and varied in several different ways, but for the sake of this article I am going to discuss the basic double arm single bell swing. Start by picking the kettlebell up off of the ground from between your legs by performing a squat. Stand up and hold the bell allowing it to hang at your groin. Next, forcefully and continuously start flexing and extending at both your hips and knees to create the necessary momentum to swing the kettlebell back and forth in an arc like fashion. You will only want to swing the kettlebell up to chest level. As you do this make sure to keep your abs tight, shoulders retracted, and to lock out at both your hips and knees at the top of every swing lift.

If you haven't already started to include kettlebell see saw presses and swings into your golf strength workouts then you are holding back on improving your golf swing.

Tips On Course Management To Help You Play Better Golf - ...important to keep the ball in the fairway even if it means you have a longer approach shot in. You are much better off with a 150 yard approach into the green from the fairway than a 120 yard approach from an awkward lie in the rough. You hear the pros say it all the time that the key to shooting low scores is hitting fairways and greens in regulation so be sure to do whatever it takes to hit the fairway first and then focus on hitting the green with high percentage approach shots. Sometimes you may be tempted to go for a tight pin placement that is very close to a hazard. In these cases most amateurs would be wise to focus on the middle of the green instead and leave themselves...
