Golfers know that flexability is a crucial part of the game. When your joints and muscles are not flexible, your swing can suffer. That’s why it’s important to include a regular flexability routine in your practice, on and off the golf course. Here’s a simple routine you can incorporate into your golf schedule:

  1. Shoulder Rolls: Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart. Raise your arms and make circles with your shoulders, moving them in a circular motion. Do this 10 times in each direction.
  2. Chest Stretch: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Place your hands behind your back, around your shoulder blades. Push your chest forward, feeling the stretch in your chest. Hold this position for 10-15 seconds.
  3. Torso Twist: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Place your right hand on your left shoulder, and your left hand on your right shoulder. Twist your torso to the left, feeling the stretch in your lower back. Hold this position for 10-15 seconds. Repeat on the opposite side.
  4. Hip Flexor Stretch: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Take a step forward with your right foot, keeping your left foot planted on the ground. Bend your right knee and lunge forward, keeping your torso upright. You should feel a stretch in your hip flexor. Hold this position for 10-15 seconds. Repeat on the opposite side.
  5. Toe Touches: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend over from the waist, keeping your legs straight, and try to touch your toes. You should feel a stretch in your hamstrings. Hold this position for 10-15 seconds.

These simple flexability exercises can help improve your golf game by increasing your range of motion, improving your swing, and reducing the risk of injury. Try adding this routine to your practice schedule and you’ll be on your way to better scores in no time!
