Golf involves the lateral storage, rotation and then release of energy through the club down the target line. Without the key muscular abilities of the core muscles, this sequential movement won t be very powerful or consistent. The body must maintain the optimal position of the spine being essentially stacked over the pelvis or hips, or the chance of an efficient and powerful swing sequence is greatly diminished...Get a more conditioned core, and you will play more consistent and powerful golf. Gain core power and flexibility, and you will hit the ball farther and gain accuracy no matter what your level of golf.
