We all know that when we start to play golf we just rush out to a course and bash our way around. When we are young and always fit and active, we may get away with our fitness. But as we get older we do less exercise and it is then that we are less active and not fit enough to complete our round of golf.
You don't see the professional golfer arrive at the course just before a tournament and start playing. They warm up and the results show with their scores. Of course technique plays an important part of this as well. Even so the golf fitness levels can have a big bearing on the results and especially towards the end of the round.
A great big golf fitness program does not also ensure that you will get a good result. You need to know how to play as well so that you can win or be competitive. No one wins every games even Tiger Woods.
Just a moderate golf fitness program can be of benefit and starting out slowly is a wise precaution especially as we get older and wiser.
Weight loss can also be important to golfers. Overweight will cause loss of energy especially towards the end of the round and this will so blow out the score.
Tips and Lessons
We get a lot of tips and advice regularly in our daily activities. Some is good, some is okay and some is useless to us. There are times when the advice would be for other and can not fit our circumstances. We may need to adjust some helpful advice and often diagnosis of our problems would give us a better chice to paly smarter and better.
Where do we get the good advice? It can be from many sources and it should be something that will be of benefit to you. Often what fits one will not fit another so look around and get the right advice.
You are never too old to learn so get started now and learn and improve if you already play the game of golf.
How often does a bad hole upset us and cause further disaster? Too often for our liking so we need to overcome or lessen this factor in our golf game.
What do we need to do to achieve a win in this situation. One step is to get relaxed about our game and take the good with the bad. Everyone will have good days and bad days. We just need to get control after a disaster so that we can then keep going on with the round.
We need to look at our mental capacity to achieve this. By this we mean to have control over our emotions and reactions to bad situations. It is the opposite to when we get a birdie or two in the round. How happy are we then. We can rememebr these and unfortunately we also remember the bad ones even more. Take time out to reasses so that we can get back on track. Most golfers are now relying on the game for an income so we can afford to have some poorer rounds. Just be ready to look forward not back wards and we will get some better scores.
Golfing Injuries
Tennis or golf elbow is mainly caused when some activities like gripping, twisting, reaching and moving are done in an improper manner or an awkward position, repetitive stress, excess force and no time for recovery provided for the wear and tear. Tennis elbow can appear in many different ways. Some people get symptoms gradually after doing the same type of work for several years. Tennis elbow is the inflammation of the tendons in the elbow area and is caused by overuse and injury. Tennis elbow almost always effects the tendons out the outside of the elbow.
Golfers elbow, tennis elbow (sometimes confused for) and other names, basically refer to the same part of the arm but are different. You are going to have a pain in the bony part of the elbow when you go to grasp something. Golfers elbow is a similar injury to tennis elbow only it affects the inside of the elbow instead. Golfers elbow is more common in throwers and golfers hence the 'nicknames'. Golfers elbow can also be associated with neck pain so you if you have not done anything to overwork your arm, the problem may be caused by a neck condition. An injury or a medical condition such as arthritis can also cause you to have this condition.
Tennis elbow is a blanket term used to describe lateral epicondylitis, extensor tendinosus, or extensor tendonitis, all of which cause pain around the lateral elbow region. While each of these three conditions differ in their specific pathologies, the most common description of the primary pathological process refers to a degeneration (tendinosis) of the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon (ECRB), usually within 1-2 cm of its attachment to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. Tennis elbow needs to be differentiated from a variety of other conditions that can cause pain around the elbow. That's why your doctor may also examine your neck. Tennis elbow refers to a degenerative or traumatic tear of these tendon origins at their attachment to the bone, causing pain on the outside of the elbow. The majority of people getting this are between 40 and 50 yrs but it can affect any age.
Golfers elbow can occur when small tears, called micro tears, form in the tendons and muscles due to a specific movement of the arms, as when golfing. Golfing is the most common cause, hence the name, and is largely due to overuse.
Golf injuries aren't simply a problem for the occasional golfer. In fact, quite the opposite. Golf injuries originate either from overuse or from a traumatic origin and primarily affect the elbow, wrist, shoulder and the dorsolumbar sites. Professional and weekend golfers, although showing a similar overall anatomical distribution of injuries by body segment, tend to present differences in the ranking of injury occurrence by anatomical site; these differences can be explained by their playing habits and the biomechanical characteristics of their golf swing.
