Despite years of being told the opposite, golfers are waking up to the fact that strength is a key element to playing more golf, better golf, and reducing injuries. And of course, this actually makes total sense.

Golfers still fear lifting weights: 'What if I hurt my back?' 'I don't want to get too bulky.' I don't want to get too stiff to play.'

But the best players in the world show that weightlifting is key for golfers.

Professional players all lift weights, training to improve performance and to gear themselves up for a multi-decade career. Are professionals wrong and average golfers right? Unlikely.

The key is understanding why, how, and when to lift weights. And when you do get this, you can align mind, body, and game to be better than ever on and off the course.

This doesn't mean you have to be training like a bodybuilder, there are lots of different options.
