THE RICOHWOMEN’S BRITISH OPEN
will be
held July 30-Aug 2 at Donald Trump’s Turnberry
in Scotland. NWO Golf Links Staff Writer, Mike
May had the opportunity to interview 2014
Ricoh Women’s British Open Champion, Mo
Martin.
Professional Golf and travel can take a toll on
an athlete’s body. How important is fitness to
you and what do you do to stay in shape?
“We spend a lot of time in airplanes, in a sitting
position, which is not good for flexibility. Plus
the golf swing is hard on the body also. For
me fitness is about injury prevention. We must
keep our bodies very balanced and strong to
prevent injuries and setbacks. Fitness is a top
priority with conditioning to get through the
season and strength training to maximize your
performance.”
