Here's some stretches you can do before your golf game Toe Touch 1. Start by holding a golf club in front of you. 2. Keeping your back flat and legs semi straight bend forward and reach your club towards the ground. 3. Hold this position for 1-2 seconds and then return to the starting position. 4. Repeat for 8 - 10 repetitions.

Hamstring Stretch 1. Start by placing your golf club on the ground and hold onto the end of the club. 2. Place one leg forward keeping your knee straight. 3. Lean forward keeping your back flat until you feel a stretch in the back of your front leg. 4. Hold this stretch for about 30 seconds and then repeat with the other leg.

Lateral Side Bend 1. Start by holding a golf club above your head with your arms extended. 2. Slowly bend laterally to one side until a comfortable stretch is felt. Return to the starting position and repeat to the other side. 3. Bend side to side for 8 - 10 repetitions.

Shoulder Warm-up 1. Hold a golf club with one hand and place it behind you with your hand over your shoulder. 2. Reach back with the bottom hand and grab onto the club head. 3.
