Stretching for your golf swing

As I had promised here is the first in a two part series on stretching for your golf swing. You could almost use this for just stretching for overall fitness, but the flexibility will definitely benefit your overall golf game.

First let me start by saying that, I believe, stretching is overall just good for you. As we get older loss of flexibility not only makes me feel older but I think that it makes us more injury prone. So I have started to make stretching just a part of my daily routine. Even if you take a break from golf, keep stretching a part of your fitness schedule.
As a general rule, like any fitness routine, set up a regular schedule to try and make sure that you get the stretching into your daily routine and do it consistently. ALWAYS see a doctor before you start any program like this. And stop if you experience any problems whatsoever.
For this part of the series, I am going to point you to my three favorite golf web sites that discuss stretching. These should give you some good background information and resources that can help you.
In Part 2 of this series, I am going to discuss my personal favorite stretching exercises for golf. You may find everything you need from today’s article and not need to read my next one. That is great. The key is to constantly work on getting in better health to enjoy golf more and more each year.
So here are my three favorite sites that discuss stretching information and resources for golfers.
