Rain, rain go away so we can all go out and play!  Today is a good day to work on our core strengthening exercises. The correct posture when addressing the ball is important for a consistent and balanced swing and accurate shots.  If the core muscles are not strong enough to hold that correct posture for 18 holes of golf, your swing will deteriorate and your play will suffer. 

This exercise will strengthen the hips and back and give you better stabilization and balance in your swing.

To perform this exercise you will need a stability ball. Make sure that the ball is the proper size for a person of your height. Begin by sitting on the ball. Slowly move your feet forward until only your shoulders and upper back remain on the ball.  Keep the hips high and feet directly below the knees.  With palms of the hands together, rotate the body to the left until only your left shoulder remains on the ball.  Next, slowly rotate to the right in the same manner.  Repeat this motion for 10 repetitions on each side.  If you practice this exercise consistently, you will see an improvement in your swing and in your play.
