5 Sure Fire Ways to Build a more Powerful and Pain-FREE Golf GameWritten by Troy M Anderson
Until recently being physically fit was of little concern to most golfers, but tides of changes have recently taken hold of golf world and only strong will survive this tidal wave. Many of today’s golfers are not only working with instructors but they also seek out assistance from strength and conditioning coaches or personal trainers to help them improve their physical skills, in hopes of being able to blast that little white ball a few more yards down fairway. I recently took a look at some of more popular golf related websites and found little relevant information about how or what to do to physically prepare yourself for game of golf. So I as sport performance strength and conditioning coach, I took it upon myself to take a look at physical abilities required to perform a successful golf shot. I did a little research by looking at frame by frame analysis of several of pros; and I walked away with five key traits that every golfer must have in order to be proficient and powerful. Here they are: 1.Trunk Flexibility - this allows golfer rotate maximally during back swing, while keeping hips/pelvis “quiet” during back swing. 2.Trunk Strength – this allows for production of large amounts of power as long as you swing mechanics are on queue. Keep in mind that it is necessary to build adequate amounts of flexibility before moving on to building strength 3.Hip Strength - this type of strength allows golfer to make a successful transition from lateral movement to powerful rotation of pelvis at point of impact. 4.Spinal Stability - this allow for golfer to have a consistent set up for his golf shot as well as prevent possible back injury due to fatigue. 5.Wrist Strength/Endurance – this will allow golfer to establish and maintain a successful wrist set.

A good kayak roll to teach beginners is put-across roll.One of biggest fears that most people have of kayaking is worry that their kayak could capsize, and they would be trapped inside of it. Another fear is that there is no way to right an over turned kayak by yourself - however, this is not actually case. People who are worried about their kayaks capsizing should learn how to do one of various rolls which will help right an overturned kayak. The put-across roll is one of these methods. The first move that you should learn before you even begin to learn any of actual rolling techniques is hip flick. There are a lot of ways to learn hip flick, but most effective method involves working on it in a pool at first. After you learn how to do this move in a pool, then you should move to an area where water will be a little bit rougher. That way, you can learn how to do these techniques in situations that are similar to real situation you will face if you ever do capsize while you're on a kayak tour.
