A. Hamstrings
By keeping hamstrings flexible and limber, the power of a golf
swing will be increased tenfold. In addition to enhancing the swing,
the chances of pulling a muscle in the back of the legs are reduced.
Muscle pulls are very painful & can keep even the best players off
the course for a week or more.

1. How It’s Done:
What I like to do is sit down on the floor with my legs out in front of
me at approximately a 60° angle toward each other. Now, I simply
bend forward at the waist, nice and easy. I usually feel the stretch in
my hamstrings now. I like to reach a point where the stretch feels
tense, but without pain. I hold this position for 10 to 15 seconds and
then return to the upright position. I repeat this process 5 to 10 times
each day to increase flexibility.

B. Stretching The Back (Latissimus)
This particular stretch of the back helps lengthen the large muscles
that run up the sides of the back, as well as the upper back muscles.
Practicing this exercise will enable the body to turn more into the
backswing. Every week try to increase the distance of this stretch
each time you bend to the sides.

1. How It’s done:
I like to stand with my feet shoulder width apart, raise both of my
hands over my head and clasp my palms together. Now I simply
bend to the left side slowly, until I feel a tight stretch on my right
side. I usually feel tension in my right side, upper back, and shoulder
area. I hold this position for 10 to 15 seconds, release, & repeat for
the opposite side.

C. Stretching The Triceps
The triceps stretch helps loosen muscles in the arms & shoulder area.
As with the other exercises, I try to increase the distance (capacity)
of my stretch each week.

1. How It’s done:

I stand with my feet shoulder width apart, bring one arm and reach
over my head. Then I bend that same elbow down as if I am
grabbing for the center of my back. Now I take my other arm and
reach over my head & grab the elbow of the arm reaching towards
the back. I simply pull and shift my torso at the same time. I hold
this for 10 to 15 seconds and then repeat for the opposite side.
