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.

30 Drills and Golf-Fitness Exercises to Do Before the End of Summer

27. Flexibility

Increasing your flexibility helps you create long, lean muscles and long, lean muscles work best for golf. When you elongate your muscles the more efficient your swing becomes and the lower your changes of injury are.

The most chronically tight muscles that may affect your golf swing are the muscles surrounding hips, low back, hip flexors and obliques.   If there is a lack of flexibility in the hamstrings, the tendency will be to raise up as you swing. If there is lack of rotation in either hip, the body will compensate by using more upper body in the downswing.  A weak core may  cause compensations if you cannot  rotate through the spine in any part of the swing, which can eventually cause low back pain.

Jump start your golf season by doing a few minutes of flexibility exercises.
