How Periodized Programs Enhance Golf Performance
During the early pre-season phase, players are gearing up for the upcoming season and gradually increasing their training intensity after a break. The main focus is on building functional strength and, to some extent, muscle bulk (hypertrophy).
As the start of the season approaches, players intensify their training to reach peak performance. The emphasis shifts to building maximum power to excel on the course.
Now in the midst of competition or regular recreational golf, players aim to maintain their strength and power at their peak levels to perform at their best.
During the closed season, it's time to take a break and rest, but staying active is crucial for a flying start in the next year. The emphasis is on recovery with light activities like cross-training and light gym work.

It’s essential to recognize that golf requires a combination of aerobic fitness and strength. To avoid fatigue and maintain peak mental and physical performance during the last few holes of a round, additional aerobic conditioning is beneficial. While this program focuses on strength training, preparing well with additional cardio in the gym or on the road can give you a competitive edge on the fairway.
