How Fitness Transforms Your Golf Game: Real Gains for Real Golfers in Westmont, IL

Golf Swing

If you’ve ever wondered whether hitting the gym could improve your golf swing — the answer is a definite yes. At That Golf Place in Westmont, IL, we’ve built our facility around the connection between fitness and golf performance. And we’re not just talking theory — we’re talking real, measurable gains.

Whether you're playing at Downers Grove Golf Club, Butterfield Country Club in Oak Brook, or just working on your short game in Clarendon Hills, here's why fitness should be part of your golf routine.

🧠 The Golf-Fitness Connection

Golf may look like a finesse sport, but every swing is a full-body athletic movement. Here’s how targeted training improves real-world stats:

• 🏌️‍♂️ Clubhead Speed: Strength training and explosive power drills can add serious yards to your drives

• 📐 Swing Consistency: Core stability and mobility reduce swing compensations, making your motion repeatable

• 🧍‍♂️ Posture & Balance: Better stability = better ball striking

• ⛳ Mental Focus: Physical fitness supports mental stamina, especially in later holes or under pressure

At That Golf Place, we blend functional golf training, mobility work, and simulator data to show real-time progress. When you improve your body, your numbers follow — from swing speed to dispersion.

📊 Real Improvements, Real Stats

Using our Foresight Falcon launch monitors, we’ve seen firsthand how fitness impacts key performance metrics:

• A 10% increase in swing speed = ~20 more yards on your driver

• Improved balance reduces mishits and increases fairways hit

• Hip mobility drills have led to improved rotation and higher smash factor

You don’t need to guess — we’ll show you the data.https://www.thatgolfplace.com/waitlist
