If you are like most golfers, you arrive at the course just in time for your tee time. Hitting balls to warm up is out of the question, but you have five minutes to spare before you tee off. Try this stretch demonstrated by Ken Pierce of Golfgym.com. It uses all the "golf-specific" muscles in your torso and upper body. Instead of the car, Ken is using the golf cart as you stretch before your round begins. You'll play a lot better from the very first tee!

Golfers, in general, do not like to stretch before playing or practicing properly.

You may very well be the exception, but even though we know better, golfers in general, do not like to properly stretch before playing or practicing. Frankly, only a small percentage of golfers even take the time to practice, let alone stretch beforehand.

There are so many articles, TV programs, coaches and trainers with different ideas on the proper way to stretch that it can be quite puzzling as to what to do first. There are different methods of stretching as well. Static stretching is where you get into a stretch position and hold it for 10 – 15 seconds. This type of stretching has been found to actually slow down your fast twitch muscles that are critical to performing a fast golf swing. “Dynamic” stretching means your body is continuously moving during the stretch. It is generally more golf specific because it should involve a twisting or swinging motion. Dynamic stretching is also better because it helps to warm up the muscles that will be used throughout the round.
