Michigan Golf Journal March 2023

Get Fit For Golf Season FRED ALTVATER PUBLISHER Back 9 Media Group Also Publishes: Ohio Golf Journal Indiana Golf Journal Back 9 Report If you are like me you have spent way too much time on the couch watching television. With golf season approaching in Michigan its time to get off that couch and get ready to hit the first tee. In this issue we have a few ideas for you to stretch before you take those first hacks. Especially as we age, it is extremely important to exercise throughout the winter months to be ready for golf. At the young age of 87, Gary Player is still very active and exercises every day. The 65-year-old Bernhard Langer just won his 45th Champions Tour title to tie Hale Irwin for the most career wins on the senior circuit. Both Gary and Bernhard promote a healthy lifestyle and have had long and successful golf careers. Even if you work all day at a desk in front of a computer, Mike May shares a few exercises that can help ease back issues and get you ready for the links. I have been very impressed with the new NetFlix documentary ‘Full Swing.’ The story lines and video are very well done. Each episode gives viewers a unique look behind the scenes of professional golf and demonstrates that these guys we see on our big screens are people, who have their own set of problems. Hopefully the weather starts to warm up this month and I will see you on the Back 9. Michigan Golf Journal
