Golf Tips – Warm-ups (part 2)
After the putting warm-ups, you need to do stretching exercises in preparation for the full swing warm-up. Stretching for around 15 minutes will loose-up your muscles and enable a more extensive range of movement and help prevent injuries and joint pain.
Then start doing a few short wedge shots with a short tee. Make short deliberate movements to connect decisively with the ball to build up confidence.
After a number of wedge shots, move to short irons and on through the long irons and woods. Make all your practice swings with total balance control and the last few should be with the 3- or 5- wood.
Calculate your warm-up time to finish just before your assigned tee off time. Don’t worry if you’re a bit early – just do more stretching exercises to stay loose.
Your time doing good warm-up exercises is time well spent. It helps to put you in “game mode” and give your best performance.
