1. Focus on making progress with each session, not just going through the motions. Try and give some serious time and dedicated effort to your stretching sessions for golf. While squeezing in one or two quick stretches before a round of golf is better than nothing, it may not be the best approach to increase your flexibility.

2. Give special attention to tight areas. The most prevalent areas of restrictions for golfers are the back, shoulders and neck. It is more productive to give special attention and focus to your areas of weakness where you have the capability of seeing the quickest results.

3. Don’t forget the warm up. The best time to stretch is after a brief warm up by taking a brisk walk or performing at least 10 minutes of easy exercise. Relax your mind, relax your body, then focus on the stretch.

4. Pay attention to your body. Stretching will be different for each individual. Some golfers need to stretch twice daily, others need once. Yet other golfers need several times weekly. It always comes down to where and to what extent you are tight and what level of physical restrictions you have.

5. Use consistency to your advantage. Try integrating simple stretches into your regular routine to see the results you’re seeking. Two to three weeks of stretching is generally not enough to offset excessive tightness. Give your body time to make the changes and reap the benefits of consistency.
