Many of you will be lucky to escape this winter to your favorite warm winter resort to play a few rounds of golf. It may be a few months since your last round of golf, so you may be a little rusty.

Check out these tips to Prime Your Body for Your Golf Getaway this Winter.

Firstly, you will want to take time to prepare your body for all the movements you will be doing during your golf vacation.

2. Walk to the driving range or first tee, to get the blood pumping and flowing to your muscles.  “Even if I only have 5 minutes, I walk around the driving range or hop on the treadmill (there is one in the locker room at my club), this simple act warms up my legs, back and upper body.  I even try to work up a sweat,” says Art Sellinger, two-time Long Drive Champion.

3. Hit just five balls without rushing. Instead of indiscriminately firing off one shot after another, trying to finish off an entire bucket before you play, hit only a few balls with a mid-iron and take more time. Do a golf-specific stretch in between each shot. Put the club behind your back and make a backswing swing and hold the position for a few moments. Try to increase your shoulder turn with each shot. This will help relax you and you won’t feel rushed as you get to the first tee.

4. Hit four putts to different distances.  Take four balls to the putting green before you tee off (there is usually a practice green next to the first tee) and putt balls to different targets to get feel.  Finish with a few two-foot putts to hear the ball go in the cup for confidence.
