Re: warm up & stretching exercise

Golfie,

It's not too bad for an experienced golfer who plays several time every week to swing a couple of clubs for a few minutes then tee off. Although everyone should warm up properly to be on the safe side.

If you are a new golfer then your aches and pains may be just over hitting at the driving range, try going every night but just hit a few balls each time, it doesn't take long and it far better for your golf because you are not tired, try something different every night, grip, left arm, alignment etc etc, this way you only have one swing thought at any night.

I would guess most injury's sustained by begginers is trying to hit the ball to hard with a tight grip i.e tight mussels.

The best advice I every received was to hit the ball with half a swing, if you take a picture of your half swing you may find it's a full one.

Hope this helps

Ian.
