Fitness Tips From The Stars of the LPGA, Lorena Ochoa and Natalie Gulbis

Well done to Lorena Ochoa for winning the 2007 Ricoh Women's British Open right here in St Andrews. It was a stunning victory for Lorena who held on to the lead throughout the event. I was very fortunate to watch her triumphant moment walking up the 18th from the best view at the event. read more...

Exercise of the month

Swiss Ball Hyper-Extension

This exercise is effective in making the muscles of the low back, glutes and hamstrings work together efficiently.
The muscles working together here are important for the golfer because they stabilise the body during the address position and also assist in driving the chest and arms through the swing.
You will need a Swiss Ball and a wall.

• Start by kneeling down at a wall with the wall behind you and the ball directly in front of you.
• Hold on to the ball and push yourself up, so that the ball is resting on your upper thigh. Anchor your feet against the wall as support.
  (For a more challenging exercise, move the ball further away towards your knees).
• Place your arms across your chest and drape yourself over the ball, being careful not to round the lower back. (See Image A)
• Inhale and as you exhale, pull yourself up for a count of three (Image B) and inhale as you lower yourself back down.
• Repeat 10 times and try to complete 3 sets.

Introduction

PICTURE YOURSELF PLAYING THE PERFECT ROUND OF GOLF

Imagine you’ve just walked off the 18th green having just played the best golf of your life.
Your drives soared to over 220 yards.
Every shot you took was effortless and pain-free.
Putt after putt fell straight in the hole.
Everyone around commented on how well you played.

How good do you feel? Imagine this is your game.

Unfortunately, most golfers can say that their game is far from that described above. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

And I’ll show you how with a GOLF FITNESS PROGRAM !
