Each month Shannon Mantrop will have a new article on golf specific fitness and training...

The Fitness Components Required for Optimal Golf Biomechanics: CARDIOVASCULAR ENDURANCE

Golf is considered low to moderate-intensity exercise, with interval characteristics and durations lasting up to 5 hours. For the average golfer who wants to finish a round of golf with energy he/she began the round with, or for the competitive golfer who needs complete mental focus and physical control at the end of ca competitive round, cardiovascular endurance is extremely important. A lack of endurance can lead to fatigue which is detrimental to performance. As one tires, balance, speed, club control, judgment and attention can be affected.

PUTTING.. The Targa Line,
by Terry Carter


How many times have you heard to get your eyes over the ball, don't break your wrists, keep your body still, and swing straight back and straight through like a pendulum???

These comments are all very true. The question is, are you doing this?? To find out, use the Targa Line. This great little training aid is perfect to help any and every golfer make more putts on the green.

Simply setup over the string, aligning the top string with the reflection of the string in the mirror. Now swing the putter straight back and through under the string while maintaining your eye over the string. This aid ensures that these key fundamentals are proper while you putt.

You can order this online or pick one at the dome while they last.

ALSO: Send this to anyone you think could benefit and call us if you need help.

Good luck and happy golfing!
