Why It’s Important to Warm Up Before a Long Game of Golf
Before you step to the first tee, you have to be prepared to make your best swings right there from the beginning
For reaching peak performance, whatever sport we’re talking about, a proper warm-up is an absolute must. You can see athletes doing their pre-game warm-up routines on any sporting event, and it’s not different with pro golfers. Before you step to the first tee, you have to be prepared to make your best swings right there from the beginning. Here’s how a pre-game warm-up can improve your playing performance.
How Can a Pre-Warm Up Aid a Game of Golf?
A short warm-up before the first tee can improve your performance and prepare your muscles. Warm up can be defined as follows: “Prepare for physical exertion or a performance by exercising or practicing gently beforehand” In this 2016 article, Robbie Cannon explains How To Warm Up and improve your game.
Their warm-up routine consisted of three parts – exercises to increase body temperature, static stretching, and air swings with gradually increasing range and speed of motion. Stretching can help relieve chronic joint pain and avoid injury and should take at least 15-20 minutes.
