Walking The Golf Course- Golf Tips
by Don Halloran
When I was just 30 years old and playing golf, I almost always walked the golf course. Then one summer I noticed that I would be getting very tired and out of breath after 13 or 14 holes of walking the course. I always thought that walking the golf course was most of the fun of playing a round of golf. This was a wake up call that I needed to be more physically fit and in shape to enjoy playing golf.
Being tired and out of breath on the golf course motivated me to become more physically active and to spend several days a week working out throughout the year. I have been able to keep up this routine throughout my life and so I have not had to be tired and out of breath on the golf course even to this day.
In order to be able to walk the golf course, I found several tips that were able to help me be in shape even with a minimal amount of ongoing exercise. Here are a few golf tips for this:
1- Do a minimum of three times a week of good cardiovascular workout for 15 minutes each.
2- Practice using a weighted club as a regular routine for golf strength training.
3- Always walk the course whenever you can. Even if you have to use an electric cart on the course. Let the other person drive and just use the cart to hold the clubs and walk the course.
4- Walk in the shade of the trees when possible on hot summer days, but keep your shots in the middle of the fairway.
5- Do not allow yourself to become overweight. It will interfere with your best swing.
Remember these golf tips so you can be physically healthy and improve your golf score.
Stay in shape and walk the course, you will enjoy it more as the professionals do.
