Golf Bags � Carry Trolley Bags � Get Fit!

Carrying your golf bags and trolley bags rather than wheeling them across the golf course is one way to get fit.

Get fit � carry your golf trolley bags

Playing golf may traditionally have a genteel image and it has struggled to be taken seriously as a major athletic sport, but in fact you do need to be fit to play. Carrying your golf trolley bags for up to five hours across 18-holes when it can weigh around 30 pounds is no easy feat. In fact, you'd think the army would take up golf as part of their training regimen!

Electronic golf trolleys

Most modern players however have a wealth of golf equipment available from electronic golf trolleys to golf buggies, which means they don't need to break a sweat. But if you want to get fit, leave the electronics behind and put some good old fashioned muscle into the job � carry your own golf trolley bags.

Leave the trolley at home

If you want to work up a sweat and feel like you've done a round in the gym, carrying your golf bags rather than putting them on a trolley will do the trick. But you do need to be careful of your back. Slinging your golf bags over one shoulder and not using a trolley can put undue strain on your muscles and spine. If you do carry your bags, make sure you alternate shoulders regularly, or better still try and invest in a backpack style back that distributes the weight evenly across your body.

Warm up

Before you pick up your golf bags and leave the trolley behind, make sure your body is warmed up sufficiently for the work-out you're about to put it through.

Golfers need to be aware of the benefits of warm-up exercises before a match, particularly for injury prevention from strains or muscle pulls caused by carrying golf bags instead of using a trolley for the bags.

If you regularly do warm up exercises before you start your game you can improve your range of motion, achieve a fuller swing and reduce the prospect of injury when you pick up those heavy golf trolley bags.

Invest in a good trolley bag

Golf is a popular sport with no age limits and the fact some players are retired and not necessarily in the peak of physical condition, contributes to the injury risk. If you are elderly, than it probably isn't a good idea to carry your golf bags � you should invest in a good trolley bag that you can easily pull across the green.
