If you’re looking for a consistent golf swing, then you’ll need to have near perfect golf posture for 18 holes. That’s approximately 100 or more golf swings during a round of golf.

If you don’t have the proper strength in specific muscles to stay in your golf posture, you’ll “bale out” of your swing every time. You see…many golfers have this swing fault, but don’t know how to fix it.

It’s a “physical” limitation causing it!

One of the critical muscles involved with your golf posture is your hamstrings. The muscles in the back of your upper leg.

Get in your golf posture and reach behind your upper leg. Feel how tight your hamstrings are. That means they are a necessary muscle group that needs to have adequate strength to allow you to stay in your posture throughout your golf swing.

Here’s a simple golf exercise that will specifically strengthen your hamstrings while in your golf posture.

Instructions
• Start in standing position, holding dumbbells in front of legs (or hold golf club behind neck), palms facing toward thighs.
• Assume golf posture with slightly bent knees and a slight bend at hips.
• Lower weights by bending at hips to just below normal golf posture.

• Raise upper body back to original golf posture.

• Repeat for 3 sets of 12 repetitions.

This is one simple exercise of dozens in Mike Pedersen’s Ultimate Golf Fitness Training Manual!
