Most golfers when they hear the words \u201cwarm up,\u201d immediately think of making swings on the range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you watch any golf coverage, that is what you most often see as announcers tee groups up before they tee off \u2014 players going through their bags and dialing in their clubs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so, there\u2019s a pretty big misconception among amateurs about what a warmup really is and how to do one properly. Unfortunately, this misunderstanding of what a warmup is actually negatively impacts our ability to play our best on the course. That\u2019s because we fail to properly get our bodies mobilized and ready to take on 6,000-some odd yards of golf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A true warm up is really the 15-60 minutes Tour pros spend working out in the gym or in the fitness truck before they<\/em> head to the range, a complete routine includes mobility,<\/a> dynamic stretching, and some moderate exercise. Needless to say, a professional golfer doesn\u2019t simply roll out of bed and start swinging their clubs like we so often do.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why not? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why pre-range warmups improve your performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A GolfForever<\/a> survey of 200 subscribers found that over 86% of those polled think the program\u2019s pre-round warmup routines improve their performance and stamina on the course. <\/p>\n\n\n

This back-saving technique is the best way to pick your ball out of the hole<\/a><\/blockquote>\n By:<\/span>\n \n \n Luke Kerr-Dineen <\/a>\n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

And if you asked PGA Tour players, I\u2019m betting that statistic would be even higher. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stretching and mobilizing before your round isn\u2019t just good for your body, it\u2019s good for your game. The more mobile your body is, the more you\u2019ll be able to turn in your golf swing and the further you\u2019ll be able to drive your ball off the tee. That\u2019s because properly preparing your body for a day on the course can go a long way, literally adding up to 45 yards of carry to your driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know from my own experience that the right pre-round warmup routine leaves me moving more freely and feeling confident on the first tee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, we the amateurs don\u2019t have endless hours to spend on the course, let alone time to spend getting ready to spend hours on the course. So if you\u2019re going to do one exercise to help your swing, choose something that will help you get the most bang for your buck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
