 Flexibility on the Fairways Starting to Take Root
By: Katherine Root, Golfinstruction.com
According to Time magazine, 20 million Americans practice yoga on a regular basis, and this ancient tradition continues to be the fastest-growing form of exercise in the world. This same trend is also showing up on fairways. Professional and amateur golfers are embracing yoga as a proven physical and mental regiment that benefits the golfer - on and off the course.
Professional golfers such as Brad Faxon, Stewart Cink, Aaron Baddley, Jonathan Kaye, J.L. Lewis, Ty Tryon, Andrew Magee, Gary McCord, Gary Player, Julie Inkster, Betsy King and Jill McGill practice yoga. Tom Lehman said that a lot of golfers on the PGA Tour swear by yoga.
Why yoga and golf? Flexibility, strength, balance, conditioning in the core of the body and quieting an overactive mind are all necessary to be a good golfer. Physical and mental exercises are an integral part of the yoga sequence of exercises or poses. On the golf course, yoga will enhance flexibility and strength to improve many components of the golf swing. Shoulder turn, hip turn, extension, balance and increased club head speed will be enhanced.
