Cantigny offers golf fitness classes

Golfers can get in shape for the coming season at a new six-week Golf Fitness Training Program offered by the Cantigny Golf Academy, in partnership with Callaway Golf Fitness.

Paul Callaway, director of golf fitness training at the academy, will lead the evening workshops for golfers ages 18 and older of all skill levels at 27W270 Mack Road, Wheaton.

Golfers can choose from three series of weekly classes this spring:

• Series 1: 7 to 8:30 p.m. Thursdays, March 3 to April 7;

• Series 2: 7 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesdays, March 16 to April 20; or

• Series 3: 7 to 8:30 p.m. Thursdays, May 12 to June 16.

The program provides an introduction to basic physical conditioning for improved golf-specific posture, balance, flexibility and strength. Callaway will lead each student (limit six per class) through a golf fitness training progression designed to:

• Increase full-swing functional mobility for faster swing speed, power and distance;

• Improve solid shot-making for greater accuracy and consistency;

• Learn the mind-body-swing total golf performance secrets of PGA Tour pros; and

• Build a stress-free swing with reduced injury potential.

The cost per six-week program is $300. To register or for information, contact Callaway Golf Fitness at (630) 567-7572 or Paul@CallawayGolfFitness.com. Registration is required at least five days before the beginning of the series.

Tuition includes weekly training materials and copies of Callaway's three eBooks: "The Secret to Achieving Your Ideal Golf Swing," "Golf-Fit for Life" and "The Winner's Image."
