We all need something to look forward to during the Winter in New England, and for us, that is GOLF!  As soon as the last drops of snow melt, you can be sure of our members hitting the links!

There is no reason, however, to let your golf muscles wane during our deep freeze.  Keeping up with some simple exercises can keep you in top golfing form and prepare you for Spring!

Daina Wasserstrom wrote a fantastic blog post entitled 3 Ways Yoga Can Improve Your Golf Game.  A fantastic read, Daina explains the similarities between yoga and golf.  Both practices require focus and concentration.  Practicing yoga can increase your flexibility, core strength and  balance.

Another great article from About.com gives step by step instructions on how to strengthen your hips.  We all know how key hip movement is for a great swing!  Simple exercises you can do while binge watching Netflix can make a huge difference in your game this year.

Weight training is also a great idea for the golfer.  Using a basic kettlebell, this blog post on golffitnessandtrainingtips.com can show you easy exercises you can do at home to improve your swing!

Surprise your friends at the course and show them a whole new you this season.  Use the off-season here in New England to stay in shape so you can hit the links with confidence this Spring!
