I can never forget the first American I ever met. I was an assistant golf professional at Royal Johannesburg Golf Club, just outside Johannesburg, South Africa. We had a large rotund member by the name of Sam Mc Cready. Sam was from Texas and was a +2 handicap! Yes, fitness is important for longevity and healthy life, but definitely not a good golf requirement!
You don't need an "athletic" body to have a "golf" body!
I have met many people in my professional life who have bodies far from what we perceive as "athletic" that are outstanding golfers. Ken Pierce of golfgym.com points out two super players, one on the European Tour and one on the LPGA Tour, who lacks an athletic body yet have climbed to the top of their profession, showing incredible golf skills! As I told one of my students recently, "Your waistline does not determine your skill level in golf, so don't let it hold you back!"
The article below was posted in the first week of August 2015.
Congratulations to Inbee Park & Kiradech Aphibarnrat on their wins this past weekend! Inbee Park is the World #1 Woman Player, and won her 7th Major Championship, the Ricoh Women’s British Open on Sunday. Kiradech Aphibarnrat is from Thailand and won his second European Tour title of the year on Sunday. He defeated Robert Karlsson on the final hole to clinch the Paul Lawrie Matchplay.
These golfers are two great examples of, and make my point that, GOLF FITNESS IS NOT MEASURED BY YOUR WAISTLINE. Golf Fitness is based on your performance on the golf course. It is based on your ability to perform golf shots consistently and repeatedly…not whether you have six pack abs.
Someone reading this post might think that I am being insensitive to these two young golfers. Actually, my theory that you can measure your waistline but not your heart, could not be more valid than for these two professional golfers.
