Golf Warm Up Exercises

As you put on your golf clothes and golf shoes, get in a push-up position and do 10 push-ups, followed by another set of 10. You are not trying to set any records. You are just trying to get the blood flowing and warming up. This will pump a little life into your chest and upper arms, and should help you get decent height and distance on your first drive.

The distance from the locker room or the pro shop to the first tee is usually between 200 and 300 yards at most golf courses. This is the perfect distance to warm up your body. Walk with your clubs to the first tee, and then run back to the pro shop and return to the first tee. This will get your body warmed up just enough to feel sharp as your start your round.

Put your left hand on the left side of your head. Press your head into your hand with about 80 percent pressure, and press back with your hand. Hold that pressure for about 3 seconds. Repeat the pressure five times, and then do the same thing on your right side. This will be good for your head and neck muscles.
