There is still plenty of summer and time left to play your best golf ever. If your game hasn’t improved as much as you wanted to this summer, try adding some golf-specific exercises into your daily routine to help you move better and more freely. Stay tuned for golf-fitness exercises and drills that you can do at home or in your office every day to help not only improve your swing technique but also help you build mobility, strength and endurance on and off the golf course.
30 Drills and Golf-Fitness Exercises to Do Before the End of Summer
5. “L” Drill 6. Uphill Lie Drill
15. Thumbs Up Drill
You can practice your swing technique away from the golf course. Use a small hand weight to simulate a golf club and practice your swing positions. Stop at certain points and monitor your hands; specifically your thumbs.
As you swing back, your forearms rotate so that your thumbs point up to the sky. At the top of the backswing, your thumbs point down the target line. As you start your downswing, your thumbs stay pointed to the sky. At impact, your forearms rotate the clubface square, so now thumbs are pointed down. As you release the club on the follow-through, your thumbs point up to the sky again. Then to finish, your thumbs point over your shoulder.
