Today we focus on posture-

A rounded upper back is often caused by spending long periods of time hunched over a desk or steering wheel. Caused by overly tight chest muscles and weak mid- and upper-back muscles, this can lead to upper-back and neck pain, and poor posture in your golf swing. Strengthening the muscles that retract or pull back your shoulder shoulder blades can help alleviate this problem.

Shoulder Retractors
  • Stand in your golf stance holding a club with both hands.
  • Keeping your spine straight, simply pull your your shoulders back as you squeeze your shoulder blades together.
  • Bend your arms to pull the club up to your chest, keeping your elbows by your side
  • Hold position for a moment and then release, returning to the start position.
  • Do 8 to 10 repetitions
