Maintaining athletic posture and proper balance during your swing is imperative to hitting solid golf shots consistently.
It’s easy to say this, but not as easy to implement it.
Truth is, most people can’t be taught how to maintain posture and balance because they’re physically limited by poor flexibility and a weak core. If you can’t naturally turn your shoulders and release your hips, you either will lift or sway to create a sense of power during your swing. Those movements hinder a consistent swing and solid contact.
What I have done — and you can, too — is routinely practice simple exercises to improve my flexibility and core strength. I’ve enlisted the help of my golf fitness trainer, Roy Khoury of Newport Beach-based RFK Training, to explain five simple exercises that can improve body awareness and allow you to strengthen certain movement patterns.

“NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — Roy Khoury, the founder and president of RFK Training, LLC, will be an in-studio guest of the popular Tee It Up Radio Network on Sunday, May 9. The show is heard every week from 6:00 – 8:00 a.m. PST/9:00 – 11:00 a.m. EST on 75 affiliates across the country and also is streamed live on the Web at www.am570radio.com.”
“(Glenn) Deck, instruction director at Pelican Hill Golf Club in Newport Coast, said the consensus among teachers, doctors and trainers is that the body is the most important part of the golf swing.
Getting to know his body better and the way muscles move is a reason why Deck sought advice of Roy Khoury, a fitness instructor who educates clients on the importance of knowing your body and the way it moves.
Whether it be flexibility in the hips, torso rotation or strength in the legs, Khoury’s emphasis is on how a person moves to get the maximum benefit from the movement.
He teaches at an office in Newport Beach and clients include college players and a few tour professionals.”
