Stretching For Golf: Loosening Up The Legs

Before you hit the driving range, practice green, or the golf course for a round, you need to stretch your leg muscles. You use these muscles all throughout your practice sessions and real golf games.

Getting The Legs Ready

Your legs, which include the ankles and feet, are very important to a good golf swing. Your legs are the base which provides foundation, balance, and power. When you step out of your cart or before you stroll over to the practice tee or the green, stretch those hamstrings!

The hamstrings are the most powerful muscles in the legs when it comes to playing golf. They are the muscles most featured in the swing. Simply put your heel on the back of the cart, and slowly lean forward to grab your toe with the opposite hand.

WARNING: Do not hurt yourself! If you cannot reach your toe then stretch as far as you can go without pain.

You should feel your hamstring on the back of the stretched leg. Hold still and count to ten, then repeat the stretch with your other leg. Go back and forth several times until both legs feel loose and limber.

Stretching For Golf: “Back” To Basics

There is no greater stress handled by the body during golf than the muscles of your back. With all of the twisting that a proper golf swing requires, you must spend just a few minutes to warm up the area with the following routine:

1) Grab a short club and put it behind your back and across your body. Thread it through the crooks of your bent elbows.

2) Assume your golf stance as if you’re standing over the ball. Keep some flex in your knees, with a straight spine and your butt stuck a bit out.

3) Now mimic your backswing with your upper body by making a level turn back, and hold it. Feel that motion and that weight on your back hip. Your belt buckle should point directly to your right (for right handed golfers). Hold that position for approximately ten seconds.

4) Turn back the other way, up off your back side and onto your front, into your follow-through as you normally finish your swing. Hold that position for ten seconds as well.

5) Repeat the exercise several times, moving slowly and holding at both ends.

Stretching For Golf: Warming Up The Shoulders & Back

Looking to improve your golf game? Imagine taking just 5 minutes to follow a simple stretching routine that will put you physically above the rest on your next round. The following exercise is a simple stretch that is designed to loosen up the shoulders and the back muscles, which play in important role in your swing.

First, take out the shortest club you have in your bag, either the putter or the sand wedge, and follow these steps:

1) Point the grip-end of the golf club into the palm of one of your outstretched hands and the blade of the club into your other palm, and with your arms extended straight out in front of you.

Note: The shaft of the club should be at arms length in front of you, parallel to the ground.

2) Keeping opposing pressure to hold the club in place, bring your left arm up and over your right until your arms are crossed and you feel pressure on your shoulders and back. Hold this position for about ten seconds.

3) Now perform the same movement in the opposite direction (counter-clockwise) and hold the position for ten seconds.

4) Repeat these steps several times until you feel adequately stretched and warmed up.

Stretching For Golf: Taking Care Of Those Rotator Cuff Muscles

The muscles of the body should be worked and stretched for maximum gains in your golf game. It is common knowledge to stretch out the legs, torso, and arms, but very few golfers pay attention to stretching the rotator cuffs, which make up the shoulder joint.

Stretching out your shoulders is easy, but you should perform the stretch deliberately and with patience and care.

First, take a club, the wedge will do fine, and hold it by the grip. Using a club gives this activity some weight for resistance.

Now get to work on those rotator cuffs:

1) With your off-hand at your side, gently begin to swing your arm with the club alongside your body, forward and back, without bending your elbow.

2) When you are comfortable, slowly swing your arm forward. Keep the arm as straight as possible. As you move the arm forward go all the way above your head and back behind you, making a large circle.

Note: If you find it tough to go back and around, just try the movement going forward and around.

3) Stretch the same with both arms until your shoulders feel relaxed.
