Play like a beast, recover like a pro

Golf has always been an amazing sport. And just like singles tennis you have only yourself to blame – or praise – for your decision-making and shots.

The evolution of golf is such that even though it has always been a technologically driven sport with regards to golf clubs, players are being exposed to bigger and better technologies both on the field and off.

Golf, unfortunately, is an expensive sport and before you start moaning, think of how the sport has grown in popularity and how much money has been thrown into innovation.

This expands the market and allows others that are not golfers to be a part of the magic.

All this brings revenues to the sport; ultimately growing the sport as a whole.

I am a believer in recovery, especially in golf.

Each sport has its own challenges and physiological demands.

The intensity levels might not be high for a golfer but ask them to walk an entire field day in, day out and then ask them to use their fine motor skills to finish a title-winning putt.

Couple all of this with fans, media and competition pressure and you have a different reality. A simple sport becomes potentially very complicated.

What are some strategic recovery tactics a golfer can add to his game plan that will set him apart from the rest?
