Insights into My Fitness

I met with Craig Davies recently in Orlando Florida. I found his assessment of my physical fitness helpful.

One surprise is that my whole left side is not solid. Maybe it’s due to repetitively hitting balls. Also, I’m more muscular than most golfers. But I have a lot of residual tension which makes my nervous system fire more.

The bottom line: I’m not loose enough and balanced in muscle mass. That can affect the mechanics of my swing.

Regular massages, which I intend to do now, will reduce the tension. I have some exercises to do to strengthen my left side.

It was a worthwhile consultation.
