What can golfcorestrength do for you?

We can make you a better golfer and reduce your handicap by improving your:

Core strength
Flexibility
Posture
Balance
Concentration

Using controlled and precise movements, whilst concentrating on your "centre" and breathing, we will teach you to improve everything from how you stand as you address the ball, to how you carry your clubs; how you can warm-up before your round to how to cool down after you have played; how to visualise the shot before you hit the ball, and how to keep your concentration throughout your round. This will have an enormous beneficial effect on your game.

The movements are appropriate for the young or old, fit or unfit. They do not require great flexibility (although your flexibility will of course improve). All the movements have several different levels making them appropriate for every type of body, including yours.

What exactly is your core?

It is the deepest layer of abdominal muscles, and consists of your diaphragm, transversus abdominis, pelvic floor, and multifidus. Historically, these muscles were never mentioned and rarely trained, as it was the "global" muscles near the surface that got all the attention. Joseph Pilates realised this fact as long ago as the First World War. Finally, everyone has caught up with his teachings, and the importance of the core is now fully appreciated. Talk about strong abdominal muscles, and most people will think of a six-pack. But these are only superficial surface muscles, and they will not help to improve your game in the same way that developing your core will.

Whilst it is an indisputable fact that core strength will benefit your golf and help reduce your handicap, the truth is that most people who play the game would not consider going to a relevant class at a gym. golfcorestrength brings golf-specific techniques to your golf club in one-on-one or small group classes, which are designed to improve the biomechanics you need for a great swing, as well as benefiting your everyday life. The methods we teach can benefit both men and women, and no previous experience of fitness classes is required.

The one thing that many golfers lack is consistency. We have all played great shots or scored well on several holes, only to then mess up on other shots during our round. We've all wondered if only we could play every shot or hole like our best ones. So what is an important factor in this inconsistency? The answer is postural alignment. If you start a swing with a poor posture, then you will more often than not end it in a poor posture. Additionally, if you are mechanically inefficient, then you will fatigue your stabilising muscles which will further affect your posture. Put simply, bad postural conditioning will fatigue your muscles. Even if you started your round with an adequate posture, after several holes you will be fatigued and your muscle recruitment pattern will be different every time you swing the club, and this leads to the inconsistency that most club golfers suffer.
