There is still more than one month left of summer and plenty of time 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

1. Modified PiYo Flip

2. Shoulder Butterfly Stretch- You may have been told that you need to stay behind the ball at impact.  To do that you need to initiate the downswing with the lower body as the upper body stabilizes, but if the shoulders are tight or weak they will push the upper body towards the target first resulting in an over the top move or early release.

Stay behind the ball at impact.

The  Shoulder Butterfly Stretch exercise can help you increase flexibility in your shoulders, chest and increase strength in the glutes and hips to help you stay behind the ball at impact.

How to perform Shoulder Butterfly Stretch-

1. Assume a lunge position where one foot is staggered in front of the other.

2. Reach behind you  holding a golf club or just interlace your fingers, keeping your arms extended but not locking elbows.

3.  Tilt your torso forward as you lift your arms up as far as you can feeling a stretch in your shoulders and chest.

4. Hold position for a few breathes and then release.

5. Repeat on opposite leg.
