One of the most important things to do is make a full shoulder turn. This is an area that most golfers (especially over 50 years of age) are deficient at. Do you struggle to make a bigger golf backswing? If so, you’re not alone. The culprit is tight muscles that get only tighter when you “attempt” to make a complete backswing, and you’re not physically capable of it.

Stretch Your Core

One of the main areas to stretch if you want longer drives, is your core. This is the midsection of your body; and I include the lower back when I discuss stretching for a bigger turn. This is purely a rotational movement, so any stretch you do for this should ONLY be rotational. Does that make sense? Do a straight on stretch will gain you no more turn in your backswing.

When you stretch your core area, you must isolate either your upper body or your lower body to gain the biggest stretch and improvement in rotation. A great example would be sitting in a chair, and reaching around the back of the chair with both hands. Notice because you’re seated, your lower body stays still, as you rotate your upper body back. This is a perfect example of golf stretching that will get you longer drives.

Dynamic Golf Stretching

Another very effective method of stretching for golf is dynamic stretching. This is movement type stretches that are similar to your golf swing, but you take them beyond your normal range of motion, with a little bit of momentum from the movement. A good example of this (see picture above left), is to get in your golf posture, grab a club on the shaft with your hands wide. Now make a backswing with this wide grip of your hands on the shaft. Bring it back down, and swing it back again, but take it farther. So you progressively go further and further back, and eventually when you play, you will be making a much bigger backswing, an increase clubhead speed, and hitting LONGER DRIVES!

Consistency

Like anything else worth achieving in life, you’ve got to stretch consistently and keep it up to see the results you want. There is no short cut. If it were easy, every golfer would be crushing their drives over 270 yards, but we know that’s not the case don’t we? Golf stretching is an excellent way to fix shoulder turn in your golf swing issues.

Stretching for even 10 minutes daily, with specific, golf stretches will result in a big improvement in your ability to make a consistently big shoulder turn, with no effort.

You may have noticed a decline, and it is affecting your performance. If so, this is only the beginning unless you add stretching to your daily routine.  Also, if you play golf in pain, a golf stretching program will quickly eliminate aches and pain, allowing you to enjoy your golf for years to come.

A good example is making a full shoulder turn in your golf swing. It’s not about pounding more balls, or taking more lessons. All it takes is a simple golf stretch for a bigger backswing.

Golf Swing Muscles

If you don’t want to do a full blow golf stretching routine, then you’ve got to at least target a couple of critical areas (golf swing muscles) if you want to stop the rapid declining of your golf swing.

Core Muscles

The core is the engine to your golf swing. If it is weak or tight, you cannot (and will not) produce maximum clubhead speed. The result is being the shortest hitter in your foursome. The core golf muscles used in your golf swing account for 80% or more of your power. The core has one key function in your golf swing…ROTATION!.

The common scenario for the older golfer is a severe restriction in core rotation both back and through. This will greatly diminish clubhead speed, power and ultimately distance. Not being able to make a full shoulder turn on your backswing can also cause an over the top golf swing.

Do you want to quickly improve your golf swing power, and play pain-free golf?

Simple golf stretches for every aspect of your golf swing. Do you tighten up during the round? We’ve got simple stretches to get you loose and ready to shoot par. Do you have back pain? No problem! We’ve got lower back stretches to eliminate back pain. Do you want a golf specific warm up to avoid early round blow up holes. We got it right here!

If you want the most golf-specific stretches you can do before, during and after your round to not only help your golf swing consistency, but to prevent an “after round” back pain you may usually incur. We’ve even got stretches you can do right in your office…without leaving your chair!

Like any other sport, a proper warm up to get your golf muscles ready for play is a must! How many times have you gotten to the course with only minutes to spare and you skipped your warm up? Do I need to ask what the result was? If I were a betting man, it took you several holes and many strokes to get into the groove to make good golf swings. Am I right? Come on now… be honest. I know I’m guilty of it.

Here’s the thing! The golf swing requires loose and fluid muscles to execute proper golf swing technique. You’re not going to get this by wishing it. You need to take initiative and do some simple golf exercises to create these loose, limber muscles that will produce maximum golf power.

Also, I want to discuss tension in your golf swing. Tension kills speed. No speed means no power. No power means short golf drives. Does that sound like something you’d be thrilled with? To eliminate tension, you need to get… and keep your muscles warmed up. The minute they start getting cold, tension will creep into your golf swing, killing your efficiency and consistency. When you follow my advice, your warmed up muscles will produce an increase in clubhead speed.

Okay… we’re getting closer to the exercise I am going to show you, but not yet! I now want to talk about hitting golf balls. Again… like in any other sport, you FIRST warm up your muscles BEFORE you participate in your specific sport movement. So golfers… that means BEFORE you hit even one golf ball, you must at a minimum, do the below, simple golf warm up exercise. Promise me that!

Golf Warm Up Exercise

This is what I call a “multi-joint” movement to get all the major muscles, joints and tendons in your body warmed up. If you only have a minute or two to warm up, this is the best, most effective exercise to get your entire body ready to play pain free golf.

Instructions:

• Feet shoulder width apart
• Place club in front of you and hold with both hands for balance
• Lower body by bending at the knees not hips and raise club at same time.
• Raise back up and repeat 10 times
• Keep upper body very erect

Benefit to Golf Swing:

• Increase blood flow and circulation through out body
• Great total body warm up to allow body to make a relaxed, comfortable first swing
• Increase range of motion in hips encouraging a more synchronized swing from the ground up

Another very effective way to prepare your body to practice or play is to use a golf swing weight on the end of your golf club. It’s very similar to using a weighted club, but this is a portable aid you can quickly insert on your club, and remove it when you’re ready to go play. You can throw it in your golf bag.

Golf Resource 

This is a shameless plug, but my Power Golf Training Ebook has a complete chapter on not only a First Tee Warm Up, but I have a golf stretch for every part of your body, before, during and even after you play.

This exercise will not only strengthen your core golf muscles for more power and clubhead speed, but give you a bigger turn both on your backswing and your through swing. I like to do this one 2-3 times per week in my home when I want a little break from the computer. I also like to do it in front of a mirror, to make sure I’m doing it correctly. You can also incorporate it into your golf practice.

There are a couple of elements that can enhance the speed at which you swing your golf club. Core strength and flexibility should be at the TOP of your list. The golf swing requires a high level of rotational speed, and the ONLY way to achieve it is having a stronger, and more flexible core area.

Core Golf Muscle Training

Don’t let the subheadline of this section scare you. Especially the “training” word. What I’m referring to is simple, effective, in-home golf swing training exercises that you can do with a single dumbbell, medicine ball, exercise tubing, and even the big ball. You MUST focus on rotational movements that replicate your golf swing. Doing crunches or straight leg raises will NOT help you increase your clubhead speed. Every core (ab) movement you ever do for golf should be rotational in nature. You heard it here first

Swinging A Weighted Golf Club

You’ve seen them before. Those weighted golf clubs you can make actual golf swings with. This is a fantastic training tool to add clubhead speed and power to your golf drives. You’ve got to do it right though. You need to ease into swinging this club faster and faster. The first day, make full swings at 50% speed. Next day off, then the following day, at 60% speed. Day off then 70% speed, and so on… until you are swinging the weighted club at near maximum speed. When you build up to this fast swing with a weighted club, you will be swing your “normal” weight club up to 15 mph’s faster.

Improve Wrist Lag In Golf Swing

Creating and retaining wrist lag in your golf swing is a surefire way to higher clubhead speeds through the golf ball. Many, many beginner and amateur golfers lose their wrist lag too early in their downswing and have just given up over 50% of the speed before they even hit the golf ball. First off, learning the proper golf wrist cock is essential to achieving higher clubhead speeds.

There are several other tips for increasing clubhead speed but I don’t want to give you too many all at ounce Instead, consume and apply these; see what kind of results you get from it; then come back for more tips.

Notice how I’m doing this right in my office with a golf club. I am sure you have an extra club laying around to be able to do the same thing. I like this stretch so much I even have it on the cover of my stretching ebook. Notice the resemblance between the two pictures It targets a very specific muscle (the lead rear area of the shoulder). This is a very tight muscles with most golfers, especially if the aging bug is creeping up on you.

Improving in golf by stretching is something that cannot be ignored!

Instructions:
• Sit in chair and extend left arm in front of you (if you are a right handed golfer).
• Take both hands and put on top of club.
• Drop upper body down against club to feel a stretch in your left shoulder.
• Hold for at least 15 seconds, repeat once more.

Benefit to Golf Swing:
• Improve back swing range of motion, allowing for a bigger shoulder turn and generating more club head speed.
• Stretch back of shoulder for more range, but with-in golf swing.
• Indirectly improve trunk rotation while maintaining golf posture.

This is one stretch out of many in my Total Golf Stretching Downloadable Ebook.

You’re fooling yourself if you think that pounding balls (golf practice), taking lessons, and buying new equipment is going to give you more power. Power comes from YOU! More specifically how your golf muscles respond and react during your golf swing. If they are weak or tight, they will respond slowly and very inefficiently. If they are stronger and more flexible, they will respond with RAPID and effortless speed and power. Which one do you want?

Lead Shoulder Muscle

Okay…here we go again with Tiger Woods. If you’re a senior golfer reading this article, do not think just because you are not Tiger, that this article does not apply to you. It most definitely does. Take a look at the area of the shoulder I circled. This is the SECRET power muscle in your golf swing.

I have done evaluations on thousands of golfers, and their lead shoulder is usually both tight AND weak. This saps your power as you cannot make a full turn on the backswing, and that weak/tight shoulder wants to “jump” out of your backswing cause it can’t handle the tension, causing an over the top golf swing.

There are dozens of simple golf exercises you can do right in your home with exercise tubing, light dumbbells, and even a weighted golf club that will quickly increase the strength and flexibility of this very crucial muscle.

Core Golf Muscles

This seems to be a buzzword right now. You hear the commentators use it, but I’ll bet they haven’t done one single core exercise for their games. I like to think the core is the engine to your golf swing power. The stronger you can get your core from a rotational standpoint, the higher your clubhead speed and ultimate distance will be. Improving in golf by stretching your core area will be a huge advantage to increased power.

Here’s our little secret to utilizing your core to get maximum benefits in your golf swing. Do 90% of the movements (exercises) with rotation. Do not do a standard crunch or situp. The golf swing is a turn back, and a turn through. If you implement simple, easy, fun and very effective core golf exercises, you will see a dramatic increase in your clubhead speed, power and distance.

These are the two KEY areas I want you to focus in if you want maximum driving distance. Of course there are other very important golf muscles like the forearms (wrists) and the legs, and we’ll get into that in another article, but for now, I want you to be implementing golf swing exercises targeting the above areas.

If you don’t know where to begin, I have put together the most comprehensive golf training book on the internet, that will give you all the golf exercises and stretches you need to see massive improvement.

If you’re one of the millions of people (golfers) with back pain, what are you doing about it? Please don’t tell me you pop a few ibuprofen and you’re good to go. This is not an approach to curing your low back pain, this is only masking the pain til later.

I’m a firm believer in “fixing it”, and this it being your lower back. And I am not referring to surgery. Surgery is your LAST RESORT, and hopefully you never choose it as there is no guarantee by the surgeon that you will be pain-free, and worse yet, you will lose a considerable amount of mobility because typically they fuse several vertebrae together.

There are several simple low back exercises I do everyday that relieve some pressure in my lower back, but I am currently involved in a complete lower back program I’ll talk about it a minute.

One simple exercise I do about every 3 hours is my Lying Knees To Chest Stretch Exercise:

Instructions:

• Lie on floor /ground
• Grab knees with both hands
• Pull knees in towards chest
• Hold for 15 seconds and repeat

Benefit to Golf Swing:

• Relieve tension in lower back allowing for a better turn
• Improve range of motion to attain a better address position
• Stretch and loosen muscles in lower back improving putting posture

I want to tell you about the program I am doing and seeing great improvement in just a few weeks. It’s called Lose The Back Pain, and having done many back therapy/training programs, I can say confidently this is by far the most comprehensive and effective low back pain program I have ever done.

I have found that when I stay moving while I’m at the computer my body feels so much better, and my energy level stays very high. AND…my aches and pains are not there when I do these simple golf stretches.

I strongly advise you to do this one and then slowly add some more throughout the day targeting different areas of your body. You’ll be amazed at how fast your pain will go away, and how much BETTER you feel, when you take 15 seconds out of your day and do these simple stretches.

I call this simple stretch the Seated Twist:

• Sit upright in your office chair, with chest high and back straight.
• Reach behind you with one arm, which will rotate your upper body.
• While staying very erect, twist as far as you can go and hold.
• Twist the other way and repeat.
• Go both sides 2-3 times, holding for 10 seconds.

Benefits to the golf swing:

• Increase rotation of trunk for an improve “x-factor”.
• Loosen up lower back, to reduce strain and tightness, freeing up golf swing.
• Improve ability to rotate upper body over a “fixed” lower body, like in your swing.

This is not some mysterious stretch, as you probably have seen it before, and if so, can I ask if you do it regularly? If not, do it right now, and then a couple of times each day.

This is one stretch out of many in my Total Golf Stretching Downloadable Ebook.
