Golf is a sport. You won’t need to be wonderfully athletic to play it, but it is a sport nonetheless. Is there any sport that you go out and play that you don’t warm up for? Do you think basketball players just hop right into a game? Do football players stretch before running into one another? Then why do most golfers skip on the getting loose part and believe they can hop out of the automobile and start playing without any warm up at all?

If you want to play better from the start of the round you want to stretch with a proper golf warmup routine. With these straightforward tips you’re going to feel great and play great from the 1st tee to the final hole.

Legs

The legs are the foundation of your stance, so you want to make sure they’re warm and prepared. I really like to stretch the hamstrings by grabbing my feet (or reach down as far as is comfortable). Keep your legs straight and push down with your chest, not your head.

Back

Loosen up your back by doing some trunk twisters. Do not really wish to look stupid? 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 one or two shoulder circles. Go with small loops then massive loops. Reverse the direction you’re going.

Swing

Ensure you take a few swings before you play. Start off with a few slow swings to be sure there is no stress, then build up where you would swing quicker than normal.

Those three exercizes should take you all of 5 minutes. Those 5 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.
