Off-Season Golf Training 101

Golf Training Off Season with Dillon Johnson
CAGGY-Winning instructor Dillon Johnson shows how to take advantage of your golf off season to strengthen your body and your game.

Though we’ve seen weather in the 70s throughout October and November in 2016, we as Coloradans know that the fall and winter months often see the clubs packed away as we get ready for the spring.

But the golf off-season doesn’t mean your game needs to be packed away as well. Each year, we devote an entire issue to golf fitness, health, strength and more as it can be the cornerstone not only to a healthier you, but also a lighter handicap.

Golf fitness instructor Dillon Johnson shows how you the basics for strategically planning your training throughout the golf off-season so strengthen your core. Specifically, the video below shows the fundamentals of increasing your:

  • Balance
  • Stability
  • Mobility
  • Endurance

These basic moves can get you on track to loosening up and engaging your hips, strengthening your core and your back, and giving your body a stronger foundation for the upcoming golf season. Johnson also explains the pitfalls of lacking in any one of these key areas. For example, if you can’t rotate properly in your golf swing then you’ll have other areas trying to compensate. For example, your lower back will try to the job of your mid-back (hello, lower back pain).
