When it comes to golfing, proper ball striking and contact are of paramount importance if you want to lower your score.  Much of your ability to make solid contact and connect with power depends on your ability to maintain proper posture through your swing.  Here is a great article from Golf Digest describing  how your hamstrings and posture will influence your ability to generate solid contact:

One of golf’s most common swing flaws is failing to maintain the posture created at address. Many amateurs rise out of their stance as they swing the club down from the top, and this causes them to make poor contact with the ball. Fat and thin shots are a typical result.

Golf instructors will often try to fix this issue with various drills that help keep students from “standing up” when they swing down and through the impact zone. An example would be to hold a golf shaft just over a student’s head and have the student make swings trying not to bump the shaft. Another would be to the student maintain the knee flex created at address.

It’s easy to correct this problem for a swing or two, or even half a round. But without strong, flexible hamstrings (the muscles on the back of your thighs), the problem will come back;

especially after fatigue sets in. Your hamstrings help support the body while you swing. Wherever you are right now, get into your address posture and then feel the back of your legs. If you can’t feel your hamstring muscles working to hold that posture, you’re probably going to struggle to hit the ball solidly.

If you haven’t already, you should make the hamstrings a top priority of workouts, says Chris Noss, one of the PGA Tour’s most-respected fitness trainers. He works with Camillo Villegas and Zach Johnson, to name two of his clients. In fact, starting workouts by warming up the hamstring muscles is always a good idea, since they play a key role in doing many exercises with proper form as well as avoiding injuries. “Tight and weak hamstrings often lead to back issues, not just swing flaws,” Noss says.

The Willard Byrd Course of the Sea Trail

This course is located in Sunset Beach, North Carolina (279 Clubhoue Road, Sunset Beach, NC 28468), and it is truly a great course to play.  The course is a par of the Sea Trail, which is a  beautiful collection of courses in Sunset Beach, which is only 15 minutes from Myrtle Beach.  The trail provides 3 award-winning signature golf courses, including the Willard Byrd Course.   Here are some basic facts on the course, and what you should expect when you play:

The Willard Byrd Course requires a distinctively different approach thanks to a constricting tree line, challenging greenside bunkering system, and lakes ranging from 14-20 acres. Strategically placed tee shots are essential for successful play on Byrd’s newly renovated undulating greens of Champions Bermuda. A picturesque and scenic 18th hole between two beautiful ponds finishes the course at the Jones-Byrd Clubhouse. The course measures 6750 yards from the blue tees; 6,251 yards from the white tees; 5,561 yards from the gold tees; and 4,697 yards from the red tees.

Year Opened: 1990

Holes: 18, Par: 72
