Golf & Bosu Training...a Great Combination

An funny thing has happend while conducting our first SwingStation Systems At-School Golf Program. I was introduced to physical fitness trainer by the name of Mike Westhead who owns Gallery Fitness in New Vernon, NJ. Mike then introduced a training regimine called Bosu (pronounced "Bo-sue" and stands for bottom side up) Fitness. I immediately (and Mike will vouch for that) incorporated the Bosu Fitness training idea into our clinics for kids and it has been a tremendous success.

The great thing about the program is the kids do not even realize they are strengthening their "golf" muscles while they are having fun with the various Bosu products that Mike has incorporated into his workout drills and programs. Further, we were able to blend the golf principles the kids were learning; balance, core strength, hip turn, follow through, etc., into the core muscle training drills using the Bosu Balance Trainer and different weighted medicine balls. Kids who were not turning and swinging properly suddenly started to get a nice fluid turn and swing.

Mike happens to know the person who invented the Bosu Balance Trainer David Weck and in fact he grew up with him in New Jersey. I did just a few things on the Bosu Ball the other day during our clinic and I could really feel the benefits almost immediately especially as it pertained to the golf muscles. Now listen, I'm quite far away from being a fitness person, but I'm willing to bet the program surrounding this Bosu idea is going to be big...really BIG!

Okay, so what's the funny thing that happened?

Well, a few of the parents were watching during the clinic for kids and you could see them start talking almost feverishly with each other about what they were watching. A few of them had already inquired if SwingStation Systems was going to offer a clinic for adults. After they witnessed the Bosu Balance Trainer in action, they almost demanded it! Fliers, bulletins and other information have been sent out to parents announcing our first Golf & Fitness Training for adults! The program starts in 2 weeks and we think these type of opportunities are only going to multiply thanks to Danny Dolan of the Active Golf Network (and also a close friend of mine), Bill & AJ Spicer our PGA Professionals, Mike Westhead and the Bosu Balance Trainer.

Do you Bosu?...............if you're serious about your golf game then you should!!
