Golfers use weighted vests to improve endurance for carrying golf bags

Golfers are increasingly incorporating weighted vest training to build the stamina required for carrying clubs during 18-hole rounds. By using gear like the GoRuck Rucking Weight Vest, which offers 14, 20, or 30-pound configurations, players aim to simulate the physical load of a fully packed carry bag. Research suggests that training with this resistance strengthens the specific muscles used during a round, potentially preventing the fatigue that often impacts short-game performance on the back nine. Beyond the physical conditioning, proponents of the method note that the training provides a psychological edge by making a standard bag feel lighter during tournament play. As the intersection of fitness and golf continues to evolve, more athletes are adopting this equipment to extend their playing years and maintain power through late-round conditions.
