Why you shouldn't stretch before playing golf!

Stretching does not provide a gradual increase in heart rate, improved movement, or an increase in muscle temperatures. Therefore stretching is not recommended for a warm-up. Instead, I recommend a dynamic warm up. Movements which incorporate muscle recruitment for play for the day. Movements should incorporate stability, mobility, and balance. Examples would include 5-10 minutes of the following: floor bridges, thoracic spine rotations, half squats, and 90 degree squat jumps. When performed correctly, your golf game will thank you!
