A new year, new energy on the fairways

The start of a new year is always a special moment for golfers. Fairways still marked by winter, cooler air, the first familiar sensations returning… It’s the perfect time to ease back into the game and lay the foundations for a successful season.

After the indulgences of the holidays, the body calls for a gradual return to activity, while the mind longs to rediscover the pleasure of playing. In golf, performance can’t be rushed, it’s built over time, through consistency, quality of movement, and listening to your body.

A truly intergenerational sport, golf supports players of all ages and skill levels in a practice that is sustainable, balanced, and respectful of the body.

Starting the golf season right: a smart, progressive approach

A good return to the game begins with proper physical preparation. There’s no need to push too hard — the goal is to regain solid fundamentals and fluid movement without risking injury.

Strength training: the foundation of a stable swing

A strong body leads to a more controlled swing. Working on core strength, legs, and back helps improve stability, posture, and energy transfer. This kind of preparation benefits golfers of all ages, from seniors to younger players, each progressing at their own pace.

Mobility and flexibility: keys to a fluid swing

An effective swing relies on freedom of movement. The shoulders, hips, and spine need good range of motion to ensure a natural, effortless swing. The more mobile the body, the smoother, more precise, and more comfortable the game becomes.

Endurance: an often underestimated factor

Walking 18 holes, staying focused until the final putt, maintaining consistency shot after shot — golf requires steady, moderate endurance. Developing it helps maintain performance throughout the round and prevents late-game fatigue.

Golf: a Ccomplete Ssport with many benefits

Contrary to popular belief, golf is a full-body sport that engages the entire body without harsh impact. Every round combines:

  • coordination,

  • balance,

  • postural control,

  • moderate endurance.

Played outdoors, often in beautifully preserved natural settings, golf also promotes mental well-being and a reconnection with what truly matters.

A sport that also trains the mind

Beyond the physical aspect, golf is a true school of patience and self-control. Every shot requires focus, course management, and presence in the moment. Mistakes are part of the game, encouraging players to let go, adapt, and move forward with clarity.

Golf teaches emotional control, acceptance of the unexpected, and appreciation of both success and progress. Add to that its strong social dimension, sharing, exchange, and conviviality, and the pleasure of the game becomes even richer.

Starting the year the right way

Beginning the year on the greens means choosing a sport that is both invigorating and restorative. Golf blends physical effort, mental focus, and outdoor enjoyment, the perfect combination to step into the new year with energy, balance, and peace of mind.
