It's scientifically proven that over tightening the muscles at the wrong time in the swing is one of the major causes of bad golf shots.

Rigidity is counter-productive, and conversely, flexibility is beneficial to your golf game.

The optimum amount of muscular tension, together with the right amount of muscular release produce the most powerful and accurate swings.

Flexibility for golf is a crucial component that will improve distance, power, and accuracy. Most golf professionals agree that stretching consistently improves range of motion during the swing, and decreases resistance in tissue structures.

GOLF TIP: The Simple Stretch that Helps You Attain Better Golf Posture -- and relieve pressure on your lower back when you play This stretch targets the muscle group in your hamstrings, or the back of the upper leg. Eighty percent (80%) of all amateur golfers have very tight hamstrings but don't do anything about it. As a result, they are unable to get into -- or maintain -- their golf posture. Here's the stretch that will solve that problem: I call it the "Standing Hamstring Stretch." Find something that's about the height of your groin area -- maybe a counter or the back of a couch. Gently pick up on leg and put your foot on the counter or the back of the couch. With a slightly bent knee, lean over that leg with your upper body. Hold it for a count of 10 and repeat. That's all there is to it! Do this stretch everyday and watch your golf posture and performance greatly improve.

"I just started the Golf Trainer flexibility exercises and read the part about the rotator cuff. I had been pulling across the ball, evidenced by the tee markings across the bottom of the driver, and couldn't figure out why. Based on your article and then subsequent stretching of the shoulder throughout last Saturday's round of golf, my contact with the ball AND accuracy were the best in a long, long time. Thanks, I look forward to the rest of your program!" Jim Gellein jim@jimgellein.com
