Hitting the Ball With Your Core

Are your abs sore after a round of golf? They should be…

I learned a ton from my instructor Adrian Wadey. But occasionally I thought he might be a little off his rocker with some of the things he would say. Over time, more things have sunk in and I’ve been able to put his words into action, making me a better golfer and teacher.

Of all the things I credit Adrian with teaching me, learning how to be dynamic and use my core in the golf swing is probably the one I treasure the most, but it took a long time for me to grasp it.

After a round of golf a while back, Adrian told me that my abs should be sore after a round of golf. That was definitely the first time I had ever heard that one. I looked at him sort of like “Yeah, ok man.”

My abs were definitely not sore after that round. My back and hips might have felt worked, but definitely not my abs. For a year I toiled around with this thought in the back of my brain, trying to understand what to do with it.
