How About a Proper Golf Swing

My golfing buddies have been saying lately that they do not think that I have a proper golf swing. I have not been playing that long and so just felt pleased that I was having a go and enjoying it and had not really thought that much about my actual swing and even about improving any aspects of my game really. One of them explained to me how important the swing is to the game as a whole and it really made a lot of sense.

I now understand that if there is one area of my game that I have time to work extra hard on, then this is the one. It has really got me thinking about whether I should be spending some time practicing my golf. I play fairly regularly but have not really thought about doing any specific golf exercises as part of my daily exercise routine.

I feel like my general fitness is good and that helps me with the stamina I need to get round the course and I do warm up and down with them when we play and they have showed me which muscles it is important to work on, but I have not been doing any other golf exercises.

My buddies all do some specific golf stretches and suggested that by strengthening my core muscles and improving my flexibility I should be able to improve and get the proper golf swing that I am now striving for. I have asked them about the exercises that they do and they all do different ones, so I was a bit confused as to what to do myself.

I have therefore been reading quite a lot of different websites to get some idea of what types of exercises I should be doing and trying to work out which will be the best for me. It can be quite tricky as they do not always have similar exercises and some of them look quite complicated.

Also it is not always easy to tell who has written the website and what expertise they have in the area of golf exercises. I do not want to be taking advice from someone who is not an expert in their field as I am aware of how important it is to exercise safely and properly.

I decided, therefore, to choose a small selection and try them for a few weeks and see if there is any noticeable improvement. I will then try to work out whether certain exercises have been more effective than other and concentrate on doing those and try some others in place of the ineffective ones.

This will take some time, but I assume that because each of us is different we will all need slightly different exercises to help us. I am hoping that by doing this, I can get together a personal exercise plan which will not only help with my overall fitness but will also help me to achieve a proper golf swing. Why don't you give it a try and see if it helps you too?
