Dr. Lawrence Lampert recommends adding vision training for golfers who desire a real competitive edge. The components of a complete golf conditioning strategy include flexibility training complemented by power development for the upper and lower body.  Additionally, core training must be an integral component of a golf-conditioning program.  An ultimate golf fitness program will add distance to your drives, allow you to hit more fairways consistently, and build a consistently repeatable golf swing for 18 holes. Athletic Training & Conditioning, Inc. recommends utilizing exercise ball routines and medicine ball routines to assist the serious tennis player in stabilizing their core and abs.  (Click here to receive a free e-book on ab workouts – enter “ab e-book” in subject line.)  By stabilizing this area, energy can be efficiently transferred during the training of athletic movements such as the golf swing.
