Pilates And Golf

Playing Better For Longer

- 

In September, we explored how Pilates benefits both the golf swing and the golfer, building up strength and flexibility to maintain proper mechanics and a swing plane while minimising and preventing golf-related injuries.

Pro golfers like Kim Na Heul and Rory Mcilroy practice Pilates to retain their endurance, competitive edge and longevity in the sport. While we weren’t able to speak to either, we were able to converse with golfers experiencing the benefits of Pilates.

Gerald calls himself a COVID golfer, having really got into the game since April last year. His better half introduced him to the idea of staying fit for golf through Pilates.

Chenhui, Gerald’s girlfriend, started on Pilates two and half years ago when she was looking to try something new. She works out up to four times a week.

CK has been playing golf and practicing Pilates for over a decade. He too was looking for something new to try, but it was golf that had him hooked.
