Golfers can add distance at any age.

We tend to lose power each decade UNLESS we train to keep it.

Golfers can develop more distance by getting stronger and more powerful and unleashing the distance they are not tapping into.

Step one: Train Mobility
Step two: Train Strength
Step three: Train Power
Step Four: Train Speed

Core Stability and Anti-Rotation: Key to a Powerful Golf Swing

A strong core isn't just about six-pack abs; it's about stability and anti-rotation, which are crucial for a powerful and accurate golf swing. Two exercises that can significantly enhance your core strength and anti-rotation abilities are the Dead Bug and the Bird Dog.

Why are core stability and anti-rotation important for golfers?

Improved Balance and Posture: A strong core helps you maintain a stable and balanced position, leading to more consistent swings.
Increased Power: Your core muscles act as the powerhouse of your swing, generating the force needed to drive the ball farther.
Reduced Risk of Injury: A strong core can help protect your back and other joints from injury.
Let's break down the benefits of the Dead Bug and Bird Dog:

Dead Bug:

Targets: Core, shoulders, and hips
Benefits: Improves core stability, teaches you to brace your core while moving your limbs, and enhances coordination.
Bird Dog:

Targets: Core, back, glutes, and shoulders
Benefits: Improves core stability, promotes spinal stability, and enhances balance and coordination.
How to perform these exercises:

Dead Bug:

Lie on your back with your knees bent at a 90-degree angle and your feet flat on the floor.
Raise your arms straight up towards the ceiling.
Slowly lower one arm and the opposite leg, keeping your lower back pressed to the floor.
Return to the starting position and repeat with the other arm and leg.
Bird Dog:

Start on your hands and knees, with your back flat and your core engaged.
Extend your right arm forward and your left leg back, keeping your hips level.
Hold for a few seconds, then return to the starting position.
Repeat with the opposite arm and leg.
Remember to focus on maintaining a neutral spine and engaging your core throughout these exercises.

By incorporating the Dead Bug and Bird Dog into your workout routine, you can significantly improve your core strength, anti-rotation ability, and overall golf performance.

As an alumnus of Camp Sea Gull, my time as both camper and counselor was profoundly impactful. Now, I have the chance to pay it forward. Seafarer and Sea Gull have initiated a 48-hour fundraising drive to ensure more young people can enjoy the benefits of camping and forge meaningful life long friendships.

Help Camp Sea Gull raise the most money and have the most donors!
