Comments on: Getting Fit for Golf…that is…Better Golf http://www.sherrytabb.com/golf-for-women/getting-fit-for-golfthat-is-better-golf/ The Voice of Women's Golf Thu, 29 Dec 2011 15:56:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sherry http://www.sherrytabb.com/golf-for-women/getting-fit-for-golfthat-is-better-golf/comment-page-1/#comment-250 Sherry Thu, 19 Mar 2009 02:49:07 +0000 http://www.sherrytabb.com/?p=443#comment-250 Joanne, The exercise I have found most beneficial for my balance is to stand on a foam log roll (pictured in "“Your Body Faults are Your Swing Faults ©” con’t…Stretches"). I start trying to maintain my balance in a golf posture for 2 minutes without falling off the roll (always wear shoes while doing this). Once I get comfortable with that then I introduce the swing with an iron(golf club not appliance :)) in my hand (I use 3 iron but anyone will do). the goal is to be able to take a full swing while on the roll and not falling off. It takes some practice but the results are worth it. If you belong to a health club they should have some sort of balance equipment available for your use. Good luck! Joanne,

I've searched the web and the only exercise I can find is the 'single leg hold'. Can you recommend any others?
