WATCH: 5 simple dumbbell exercises to improve your golf game

Videos

Practice and repetition on the driving range will reap the reward of better consistency while out on the course.

But once you reach a point where you have confidence in your swing, it becomes harder to make those small improvements.

One thing you can do away from the course is strength and conditioning training.

Improvements in this area can allow you to achieve more distance on your drives and maintain your level for 18 holes.

Making positive changes to your body for greater performance doesn’t always require a gym membership and can be affordable too.

All you need is a pair of dumbbells to unlock endless exercises for golf swing-targeted strength and conditioning.

LIV Golf stars Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka are testaments to the fact that strength and conditioning can transform your game, with the former feuders winning seven majors between them.

The physical changes the pair made while exercising away from the range completely changed the way they approached the game.

Their increased strength resulted in never-before-seen levels of club-head speed, leading to huge driving distances and the ability to take more aggressive tee shots.

While you may not be able to achieve the same feats as these seasoned pros, the principle remains the same.

Golf is a game of fine margins, and finding small areas for improvement all count and will show on your scorecard.
