There are many benefits from doing some simple exercising when you are a club golfer. For example, exercises can bring increased flexibility and muscle gain while increasing core strength which can improve the ease and power of your swing. They can also aid injury prevention and improve stamina.
Exercises can be simple and do not need extensive equipment or visits to a gym. For instance, squats are a simple exercise to work the lower body. Lower body strength is linked to clubhead speed – the stronger the legs, the more power behind the swing. Squats also help knee, ankle and hip mobility.
Upper body strength also plays a part in increasing clubhead speed. So horizontal push exercises are another easy exercise that can be done anywhere and can be really beneficial, especially for women golfers and juniors. If you’re new to push ups, or find doing them off the floor too hard, try doing them on an elevated surface such as a wall, or the arm of a sofa.

Another exercise that could be useful for golfers is to check whether they have the right cover if something goes wrong. If the worst happens, do you have the peace of mind that you are covered for personal accident, dental treatment and accidental bodily injury resulting in temporary disablement as well for accidental property damage and public liability?
New golf equipment does not always come cheap. You may think that your household insurance automatically covers your golf gear when out and about, but this may not be the case for every household insurance policy. So it is worth checking to see if your golf equipment and gear is covered.
If your policy does not cover this, you might be interested in exploring speciality golf insurance. Not only can this support you in replacing your gear should something go wrong, it can bring other benefits. For example The Insurance Emporium’s policies can cover golf membership fees, tournament fees and worldwide cover for loss, theft or accidental damage up to 30/60/90 days depending on the policy type. There is also new-for-old equipment replacement and replacement hire clubs.
It also covers you should something go very right – The Insurance Emporium’s cover includes a payout of up to £500 depending on the policy level if you make a hole-in-one.
At The Insurance Emporium golf cover is available over three policy types, titled Wentworth, Gleneagles and Portrush, which you can tailor further to suit your individual golfing needs with a range of optional benefits that you can add. For further details, simply check out The Insurance Emporium and see if you could be better off insuring your golf equipment with The Insurance Emporium.
