I did a forum and Google search and found nothing, but mods please merge if possible.
How many of you stretch before a round? Or even practicing?
The reason I ask is because I've been underswinging lately and I feel super stiff and can't take the club back 100% of the way which is pretty odd being only 20. What I thought was a full swing was 75%, and even when I work at the range and I take a longer swing, I can only manage 90%.
I think a lot of it has to do with my recent weight gain (mostly fat, but muscle bulk as well) and lack of stretching before and after working out, as well as before and after my rounds and practice sessions.
I'm going to start stretching my bi's, tri's, shoulders, chest, lower back, glutes and calves before and after every time I workout or play golf, just one stretch each to start. I'm hoping that eventually that, getting monthly massages, going to the steam room and hydating properly will make me more flexible and have a overall healthier body.
What is your stretching routine? Do you do anything special to stay limber?
