QUESTION:
What are some safe exercises prior to golfing activities?
ANSWER:
ANSWER: Listed below are three phases for a
10-minute warm-up for golfing activities.
PHASE 1: Two minutes
of stretching. This should occur before swinging a club. Would include
neck rotation, shoulder stretching, trunk side bends, trunk rotations and
toe touches.
PHASE 2: Three minutes
involving going to the driving range with a pitching wedge, 5-iron and
driver. Spend a minute with each club concentrating on tempo using a half
swing for the wedge, three-quarters for the 5-iron, and a full swing for
the driver.
PHASE 3: Two minutes
of putting back and forth across a practice green, waiting to tee off for
one minute. Spend 30 seconds making practice swings with the club you plan
to use on the first tee, concentrating on tempo, low take-away balance and
a full turn on the back swing. Then spend the last 30 seconds relaxing,
visualizing your upcoming excellent drive.
