Here’s a golf stretch I want you to do this weekend when you’re on the course that will keep your hamstrings and lower back nice and lose for better golf posture and less strain on your back. You should even feel better when you’re in your putting stance on the green!

This is one simple golf stretch out of my Total Golf Stretching ebook.

Instructions:

Slightly flexed knees.

Grab club and bend at hips.

Let arms hang relaxed in front of legs.

Stretch hamstrings and lower back by lowering club down legs.

Come back up and repeat with moderate speed.

Repeat 3-5 times.

Benefit to Golf Swing:

Increase circulation in lumbar (lower back) area to withstand the high torque from initial swings.

Allow for a more relaxed posture position through out swing.

Reduce chance of injury to lower back early in the round.

Do this several times during your round and let me know how it goes. You should feel less strain on your back, improved golf posture throughout the round, and more consistency in your putting.
