Mtn Biking and Golf

Dee here!

What? What do I mean Mtn Biking and Golf?

Simple, the fine motor skills, visual acuity, feel for the land, being prepared for “what’s around the bend,” body posture, maintaining a relaxed mind-set, and hand-eye coordination are very similar.

You see, I used to race down-hill mountain bikes as a semi-pro and am still a mountain biker at heart. On my ride the other day, I was comparing the skills that were similar with golf and came up with the aforementioned list.

Now guess what? All of those attributes you do learn out on course or on the trail, but the fundamentals of those requirements can be created, re-produced and fine tuned in the gym!

So get your butt in the gym, since for a majority of us in the US it is “off season” and during this time it is ideal to be in the gym working on your body, AND regularly seeing your golf instructor to be working out the “glitches” in your game that you struggled with this last year.

The idea, of course, is to be prepared physically and game wise to play good golf! What a concept, eh?

Of course, if you have any questions, we’re here for you!
