Golf fitness instructor Andrew Fodge has exercise tips he says will help you improve your game

Certified Personal Trainer Andrew Fodge is also a Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Certified Golf Fitness Instructor.

This is a busy time of the year for golf fitness and training, both for the local population as well as the snowbirds. With golf being a major reason people live and visit the Valley, he offers the following tips.

“Exercises that will help improve your flexibility, strength, and power which will help you drive the golf ball farther and hit more accurate shots,” he says. “By assessing a ‘total picture’ of your body, swing, and equipment, a golf fitness program can be developed that will seamlessly integrate into your existing instruction and game to help you optimize your performance.”

Fodge says exercises focusing on functional movements of the core, the upper body and the lower body, that most golfers beginning, advanced, or pro can benefit from doing.
