Golf Athlete Pathway

[MiuraMan]

Here is a quote from an article that I recently found on the internet; a good read for the golfer who has not started on the "fitness" journey to become a better golfer.

"The Golf Athlete Pathway represented in the image below is essentially my long term approach to training golfers, boiled down to a 1 page document. It aims to give a broad overview of the journey that an aspiring elite player would take when training under my supervision or guidance.

I realise that the majority of you reading this article are not aspiring elite players, and might well be happy just doing a really good job of Phase 1, thereby reaping the rewards of a body that moves better, feels healthier, has a reduced risk of injury and a greater potential to execute quality golf shots.

Whether your are dreaming of playing on tour, or just playing without getting hurt, I hope that my explanation of the 3 training phases and examples of workouts and exercises will give you a thorough understanding of how I train golfers."

Some of the reasons why Im critical of this:

4 week periods are too short especially for beginners.

Periodization doesnt seem to make much sense.

Exercise selection is poor.

The exercise progression between phases is very poor.

Unnecessary amounts of work and not enough for some.

 

Honestly its all a bit of a mess and overall just a bad program. There are plenty of proven programs out there.

There are good exercises in there but just too much nonsense.
