Golf stretches for a more fluid swing

Golf stretches for the core muscles

Finally, stretch the core muscles:

  • Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, and fold your arms across your chest, as shown in image 1.
  • Bend your knees and lean forward slightly, as shown in image 2.
  • Rotate your trunk in your backswing motion, as shown in image 3.
  • Continue from the top of your backswing position to your follow-through, as shown in image 4.
  • At home, you may want to try this stretch in front of a mirror to check the different positions of your swing.
