Become a better golf player
The exercise program is created in collaboration with Team Norway Golf. The aim of the exercises is to prevent injuries and improve physical performance in order to make you become a better golf player.
TRAIN WITH A PURPOSE
Be focused on what you are trying to improve when you are practicing your golf swing. Hitting fewer, but smarter practice shots will result in a lower load placed on your muscles and joints and improve your technique at the same time.
WRIST AND HIPS
Players at the elite level hit many strokes and are able to reproduce their swing with extreme precision. This can increase the risk of injury in the wrist and hips due to repetitive stress. The training program includes exercises to prevent injuries in these body parts.
