IMPROVING YOUR GOLF BALANCE -

Improving Your Golf Balance
By Jason Griffin

The need for balance for golf just sounds so simple and
easy. As a golfer, you know that maintaining proper
golf balance is a key to a good golf game. And it''s
more than just having the correct stance.

Optimum golf balance depends on three aspects: your
visual perception, the signals from the inner ear, and
signals from your muscles and joints. Sometimes these
aspects get out of sync, causing a balance disorder.
Most of which can be easily fixed with some simple
ideas.

A lack of balance usually occurs when your hea*d
position changes, which is a good reason to keep your
hea*d still during your swing! How many times have you
been told or noticed yourself that you looked up during
your swing? Everybody wants to see where their ball is
going and when you move your hea*d and throw off your
balance, the ball doesn''t usually go anywhere. At least
not where you wanted it to go. So, keep your hea*d down
and still and let your playing partners watch for your
ball.

Migraines can attribute to a balance disorder. So if
you have frequent migraines, seek medical attention.
These hea*daches can affect your golf game in ways you
may never have thought of. Not to mention being just
plain painful and debilitating.

Also, don''t go spending a fortune on new golf equipment
hoping for better play before you check your medicine
cabinet to see if any drugs you''re taking affect your
balance. The condition "ear poisoning" seriously
affects your balance. Ear poisoning is usually caused
by side effects of some medications. Always be aware of
the possible side effects of any prescription drugs you
may be taking. This is just good a*dvice all the way
around, let alone it having an effect on your golf
game.

Diuretics can pose a problem as well. So if you''re
taking any of these and you start feeling dizzy, get
medical help! Sometimes the dizziness can literally
become a lifelong problem, so don''t delay in seeking
help.

If your golf balance is a little off in your game, you
may want to do some simple exercises to improve it.
Just kicking a ball around your backyard can help. You
can also set up a little obstacle course and weave in
and out of it to improve your balance. If you have
kids, they will have fun with the course, too!
Actually, they may even set up one for you!

You can also bu*y a balance board to help you with your
center of gravity. You can easily make one yourself out
of some scrap wood or you could find a nice one online
or at a local fitness equipment store. These boards are
challenging and fun to use. Once you can balance for an
extended period on one, pick up a golf club. Then
practice your backswing while balancing yourself. This
will dramatically improve you golf balance.

In a*ddition, working with flexibility exercises helps
increase your golf balance by releasing muscle tension.
Try some simple yoga stretches to help with loosening
up tight muscles. Yoga or pilates can be a real benefit
for the golfer. These types of exercises tend to create
long lean muscles and promote flexibility. Just what
the golfer needs for the right golf balance and a fluid
swing.

Another useful item is a yoga ball or exercise ball.
Even just sitting on one of these balls requires
balance - so try using one for part of the day. Work up
gra*dually until you can sit on the ball for 30 minutes
at a time. These ball exercises can help you develop
proper posture, increase the mobility of your lower
back, and develop overall control of your body core.
Improving your core strength and flexibility will help
you develop the correct golf balance.

Since balance is fundamental to every aspect of your
golf game, spend some time each day working on
developing it. Who knows? You could find your swing and
your score improving significantly, and who couldn''t
use that!
