Tour Standard Fitness

This week was the monthly fitness training session for my elite students held with Scott Williams at the home of the PGA at Sandhurst Golf Club. This session is great for my students as there is usually a mixture of tour players, Golf Australia squad members and regular golfers looking to improve their fitness levels. Scott has developed a series of exercises that the golfers complete that measures their golf specific fitness levels. Scott has particular levels that he believes players need to be achieve to be golf strong and the golfers compete against these scores as well as their previous monthly results.

There are fifteen tests that are used during the session and they measure things such as endurance, strength, core strength, rotational speed and rotational strength. Some of the exercises are shown in the pictures in this post and they are a really good indicator of a golfer's golf specific strength and endurance.

After each of these training sessions, each participant gets a written report which includes their scores in each of the exercises completed during the session. As well as these basic scores each golfer also gets a plus (improvement) or minus (decline) percentage score against their previous score, their evaluation test score and the tour standard score.

It is a great session and well worth the time for anyone looking to see how they measure up, fitness wise, with the best players in Australia. Contact me via my blog or website if you want any more information or you can email Scott Williams by clicking on his link here.

Until next time,
