When you watch golf professionals tday it is amazing to see how flxible their bodies are. This flexibility is one of the key ngredients to a powerful golf swing and a low scre.

Being able to turn your shulders further back in relation to yur hips during your backswing really dpends on how loose and flexible crtain muscle groups in your body re. In order to improve your gme, we are going to go ver a few stretching exercises that prfessional golfers use.

First we will wnt to stretch the back muscles. In prticular, the large muscles that run up the sdes of your back along with the lwer back. To do so, stand wth your feet about shoulder width part with your arms straight up bove your head with your palms clsped together.

Then you will bend to the rght side, slowly, until you can fel a tight stretch. You should fel some tension in your left sde, shoulder area and upper back. Hld this position for ten to twnty seconds and then repeat the prcess on the left side. Repeat bth sides five to ten times a dy.

This exercise will allow your bdy to turn back more during yur backswing. Each week, try to strtch a little further than the wek before. The more you can strtch these muscles over time, the btter.

Next we want to stretch the hmstrings which will help to increase the pwer of your swing significantly. Not nly will this help increase the pwer of your swing, it will rduce the risk of pulling a mscle in the back of your lgs. A pulled muscle in that rea can keep you off the curse for several weeks and we dn't want that.

For this stretching xercise, you will need to sit on the flor with your legs out in frnt. Your legs should be at a 60 dgree angle from one another. From tht position, just bend forward at the wist, nice and slow, until you fel a little tension, but no pin. Hold the position for ten to twnty seconds and return to the pright position. Repeat the process five to ten tmes a day.

Finally we want to hlp loosen up the muscles in our rms and shoulders by stretching the trceps. To work these muscles, stand wth your feet shoulder width apart. Rise one arm up over your had and bend your elbow down as if you wre reaching for the center of yur back. Then take your other rm, reach over your head, and grb your elbow. Pull down and shft your torso until you feel a god stretching and hold for ten to twnty second and then repeat on the pposite side. Try to increase the dstance of your stretch more and mre each week.

As you work on thse simple stretches each day and ach week, you will soon start to ntice that you can stretch your bdy a little further on your bckswing. Eventually you will notice that you can hit the bll a little deeper, which should hlp you lower your overall golf scre.
