Why A Golf Coach Might Be What Your Game Needs

By Richard Horowitz


Really now, you may be wondering why you need a golf coach when the likes of Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen never needed anybody to tell them how to play their game? And besides, wouldn't a golf coach take away all the fun of the game and make the whole thing too serious to call a leisure activity anymore?

So now you know why most amateurs aren't exactly jumping up and down with joy when somebody suggests they hire a golf coach. Genuine concerns but mostly outdated because the modern game has changed a lot and continue to change.

Golf coaches, in fact, have become part and parcel of many players' training programs, as they help in improving a player's muscle coordination and motor skills, making them competitive in what was once thought of as a leisurely alternative to more physical sports like basketball, football or baseball.

Has your golf game been getting just a little too frustrating in recent times? Do you have to walk off the course with your head hung down after yet another surprise defeat?

Then there is the increasing possibility that you are playing against people who are involved in exercise programs and have a personal golf coach who has been helping them work on improvements in their game.

How can you possibly compete with a golfer who has such a huge advantage over you? Can you still enjoy golf in an old-fashioned way, just like in those days when golf coaches were considered afterthoughts, if thought of at all, in golfing circles?

Here's one quick reason why a golf course is so beneficial to today's players - they can help you improve what is lacking in your game by making you work on exercises that could strengthen crucial muscles used in aiding your swing.

A golf coach can help you stay injury-free, and that includes the infamous and ever-so-irritating case of golfer's elbow. Your coach can help you in this aspect by keeping your muscles toned and having you do certain stretching exercises to keep your muscles ready for the next round of 18.

There's more - you are never too young or too old to enlist the assistance of a golf coach. Even pre-teens and seniors, for that matter, can increase their physical aptitude through these exercises. And not just improve their game, but avoid back pains that are so common with elderly golf players.
