Simple and effective stretches for golfers

Many of you love the game of golf. And you're always looking for ways to improve your game. Right?

There are many ways to improve your golf game. You might take lessons, buy new clubs, get a better caddy, or improve your short game. But one of the simplest things you can do is stretch more.

For many golfers, stretching is something that gets put aside or just doesn't get the attention it deserves.

However, in reality, a good stretching routine can improve your game and help keep you on the course.

Most golfers will suffer from an injury at some stage in their golf career. By being aware of the importance of how to stretch, you're giving yourself the best possible chance of reducing the risk of injury.

In addition to reducing your risk of muscle strains and other injuries, stretching can help your golf game in many other ways:

• Stretching helps you improve your swing. When you stretch before playing, you warm up your muscles, making them less tight and stiff. This helps to promote a smooth swing that increases power and distance. It also reduces injuries.

• Stretching helps with endurance. It's been shown that stretching before playing can help with fatigue and allow you to play longer.

• Stretching promotes good posture, which leads to improved focus on the ball and greater accuracy in hitting it where you want it to go.

Now that you're hopefully convinced that you should be spending more time stretching, be sure to check out my 10-minute video that shows you effective stretches specifically for golfers:

​Of course, these stretches are good for people who don’t golf, too.

Are there any additional stretch routines you want me to create for you (either for a specific activity or focused on a specific area in your body)? Let me know!
