Quick tip: Before teeing off, use your own developed stretching regimen. Oh,
right, you don't have one!
Develop one. If you want to ruin a good round of golf -- or at best, get off
to a poor start -- arrive late and start highway to fairway. We've all done it.
We know the results.
Start by standing with chin tall. Let your arms hang from your shoulders.
Raise your forearms with hands up in front of your shoulders, palms and thumbs
facing forward. Cradle your 7 iron across your thumbs, qrip pointing to the pin,
shaft parallel to your chest.
Now, turn your shoulder and body toward the brace foot until you feel some
stretch in your tight hips. Then turn back toward the target foot fully -- belt
buckle, chest and chin to the pin. This is finish.
Remember at this fully turned position your brace-foot heel will be released
and turned pointing "down the line" behind you. Often golfers think they must
keep both feet firmly on the ground at all times. No.
The right brace foot pushes your body -- including hands and the swinging
club -- through the ball at impact point to the pin.
