Rushing to golf, just in time to make your tee off time and attempting a career best drive down the first without any stretching is probably not the best warmup – however this is the reality for a lot of golfers. Give yourself plenty of time before you play making sure you get the clubs out of the car slowly. Stretch your hamstrings and calves by putting your leg up on something about chair height and gently leaning forward to feel the stretch down the back of your legs 10 to 15 seconds on each side, repeating the stretch twice. Move onto some dynamic stretching by swinging loosely with your driver a dozen or so times and if available possibly hit a dozen balls into the practice net or on the driving range. Your first drive should be well within your maximum – the old adage is 80% effort because the other 20% just gets you into trouble.
