Before you hit the first tee, warming up is essential to prevent injuries and maximize your performance on the course. A proper routine gets your muscles loose, improves your flexibility, and sharpens your focus. Here’s a quick, effective warm-up you can try:
1. Dynamic Stretches
- Arm Circles: Start with small circles and gradually increase the size. This loosens up your shoulders.
- Torso Twists: Hold a golf club across your shoulders and gently twist your torso side to side, keeping your hips stable.
- Leg Swings: Hold onto a stable surface and swing each leg forward and backward, then side to side.
2. Mobility Drills
- Hip Rotations: Place a club behind your back, bend your knees slightly, and rotate your hips as if simulating your swing.
- Squat to Stand: Start in a standing position, then squat down, keeping your heels on the ground, and return to standing. This opens up your hips and activates your lower body.
3. Practice Swings
Finish your warm-up by taking a few slow practice swings, gradually building up speed. This helps your body get used to the movement and rhythm of your swing.
Bonus Tip: A good warm-up isn’t just physical; it’s mental too. Use this time to focus on your game plan for the day.
Stay loose, stay focused, and most importantly—have fun out there!
Happy Golf. Play Your Best.
