Stretching
Your Way into A Better Golf Swing
|
|
There’s no reason to scoff or skip stretching prior to a good
game of golf. To maximize your game, stretching can provide you
with the flexibility to take complete swings at the ball. More
importantly, stretching before you tee off can prevent injuries.
A full swing can be enabled through movements that flex and loosen
the muscles. Another way to exert stretches is to simultaneously swing the club for one to two minutes. Before the golf warm-up, remember to pause between each stretch for a minimum of 10 seconds. During the cool down 30 seconds of stretching should follow your game to prevent injury or pain. Try to concentrate on specific muscle groups. For instance, the quadriceps can be stretched by performing the following task: With your back completely to the chair, stand and cross your arms across your chest. Steady your left foot on the chair. (A bench can be substituted for this exercise). Balance yourself to maintain the knee level your right knee. Next, contract your left buttock muscles. A good stretching sensation should come over the front of the left thigh. Then to replicate the follow-through of the golf club, rotate shoulders and torso. The movement should be executed to the right while you simultaneously bend the left shoulder and trunk in a slight direction toward the ground. Alternate the stretch movement by switching over to your right foot on the chair. To stretch the back muscles, take the backside of a chair and stand at an arm's-length distance with feet spread apart. Take hold of the back of the chair with your hands. As you grab onto the chair be sure to keep your spine parallel to the ground in a straight fashion. Pull your body away from your hands and down until the stretch can be felt near both armpits. |
