How A Golf Stretching Routine Can Impact Your Game Quickly
Even as you read this article, golf stretching routines continue to positively revolutionize the games of many golfers around the country and indeed around the world. Golf stretching routines play a major role in helping many golfers achieve consistent and good results on the course with their swing.
Still many golfers are yet to fully appreciate the potential of golf stretching routines and many are not aware of the fact that they usually have a huge impact on a golfer’s game.
A golf stretching routine will tend to concentrate on the muscles and parts of the body used when playing golf and especially during the golf swing. A useful golf stretching routine will be able to help any golf attain more flexibility as well as strength on the course. It is important to remember that most of the body is used for a golf swing.
Right from the feet to the knees, hamstring and hip, the lower part of the body is critical to the golf swing. Then there are the more obvious participants in the body like the arms and upper body and neck.
A golf stretching routine does a significant job of
ensuring that most of these muscles are ready for the strain that golf usually exerts on them.
Usually the golf stretching routine is combined with weight training for maximum effect and results. In fact there are some stretch exercises that involve the use of dumbbells.
Part of the better golf stretching routines will also involve a warming up process and some stretching exercises shortly before you start your golf swings.
This work well to help many a golfer’s body feel much more comfortable during the golf swing. The truth is that the more comfortable a golfer feels when executing a golf swing, the better the results will be.
In fact a golf stretching routine is at the very heart of any genuine golf exercise program.
