BOSU Golf Swings – Standing on the blue side with a mid iron and moving slowly through entire swing motion. 2-3 sets of 12 – 20 repetitions. You can use a weighted club to improve your strength. Key is gaining separation between the hips and shoulders in the backswing to possibly 90 degrees if not more. This exercise will increase the balance as well as rotation for more range of motion in the backswing.  

Plank – On forearms in pushup position holding a straight line with the body. 2-3 sets of 30-90 second holds. This exercise will increase the core stability. One of the leading causes of missed shots is the loss of spine angle control throughout the range of motion of a golf swing.  

Cable Rotations – Standing in an athletic position two hands on one cable straight out from chest rotating away from the machine 90 degrees slowly relaxing the weight back to center, then repeat. Shoot for 2-3 sets of 12 – 20 repetitions. This exercise will strengthen the core musculature as well as the arms and chest.  

Many golfers mistake a bad game or swing with lack of skill.  However, it may be a lack of stability and strength.  Whether you are playing nine or eighteen holes, your body mechanics will breakdown if you do not prepare for golf-specific movements.   Good luck!
