Off Season - A Time to Train by Connor O’Shea, CJGA Regional Coach

these workouts are super important in preventing injury. A personal trainer is a worthwhile investment; they can make a huge difference to your body and golf swing movement.

Swing Smart

If you want to make any changes to your swing for the 2010 season the winter is a great time to do it. It’s important to have a plan however as swing changes take time and effort. If you work with a golf coach decide early in the off-season what work you want to get done and make a plan for how to get it done. The off-season can also be a great time to work on the basics or learn a new shot shape.

Improve Your Process

The winter can also be a great time to improve your mind. There are a lot of great books out there on how to change your outlook and or approach to the sport you love. At the highest level the differences between the best is often how they choose to think and manage the golf course towards the end of a round. ?Every Shot has a purpose? is a good place to start this winter.

Dream

Not to be overlooked the off-season is a wonderful time to reflect on the year that was. During the season it’s easy to get caught up in the daily results, which can often sway your feelings towards your goals and what you think you’re capable of.
