Is stretching important before playing golf?
Every golf swing requires movement in the upper and lower body. Therefore, it is important to warm up and stretch the major muscle groups involved in the golf swing. • Stretching is most effective when muscles are warm. You can elevate body temperature by taking a brisk walk or performing a few minutes of easy practice swings. • All stretches should be performed without bouncing and be held for a minimum of 15 seconds to receive maximum benefit. • Remember to breathe during the stretch.
