Get Your Body Ready For Your Round
Golf is a sport. You might not need to be incredibly athletic to play it, but it’s a sport nevertheless. Is there any sport that you go out and play that you don’t loosen up for? Do you actually think basketball players just head right on the floor? Do football players stretch before ramming into each other? Then why do most golfers pass on the getting loose part and think they can come out of the automobile and start playing without any warm up at all?
If you would like to play better from the beginning of the round you need to stretch with a proper golf warmup routine. With these straightforward tips you are going to feel great and play great from the 1st tee to the final shot.
Legs
The legs are the base of your swing, so you want to be certain they are warm and prepared. I love to stretch the hamstrings by touching my feet (or reach down as far as is comfortable). Keep your legs straight and pull down with your chest, not your head.
Back
Stretch your back by doing some trunk twisters. Don’t want to look silly? Then place the club flat along your back and act like you are turning as you would when you swing.
Shoulders
Hold your hands straight out to your side and do a few shoulder circles. Go with small loops then giant loops. Reverse the direction that you are going.
Swing
Ensure you take one or two swings before you play. Start off with 1 or 2 slow swings to make certain there is no stress, then build up where you would swing faster than ordinary.
Those three exercizes should take you all of five minutes. Those five minutes will get your body ready for the round ahead. No more hearing popping and cracking as you make your first tee shot of the day.
