Developing Balance in Junior Golfers

Thu Nov 8, 2012 by Dr. Greg Rose

Balance is critical for optimal performance on the golf course.  We now know balance can start being developed when we are really young.  Literally under the age of 8.  We like to set up activities in our junior golf schools for kids to perform that encourage balance development.  These activities include:

• Obstacle courses (see above video)
• Balance beam walking
• Single leg throwing and catching
• Hopping and Bounding
• Stability ball and Airex pad exercises

By allowing the kids to participate in fun games that challenge their balance, they are developing critical skills for their golf game and having a blast at the same time.
