Five flexibility exercises for golf

These exercises can help improve your golf swing and overall performance by increasing your flexibility and range of motion.

1. Trunk rotations: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, hold a club behind your shoulders with your hands on either end. Rotate your torso to the left and right while keeping your hips and legs stable. Repeat for several reps.
2. Shoulder stretches: Hold a club behind your back with both hands, palms facing outward. Slowly raise the club and stretch your shoulders by pulling the club upward with one hand while pushing down with the other. Switch hands and repeat.
3. Hip stretches: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and place a club across your hips. Rotate your hips to the left and right, feeling the stretch in your hip flexors. Repeat for several reps.
4. Hamstring stretches: Sit on the ground with your legs extended in front of you and place a club over your feet. Reach forward and try to touch your toes while keeping your legs straight. Hold for 15-30 seconds, then release and repeat.
5. Wrist stretches: Hold a club in your left hand and extend your arm out in front of you, with the club vertical. Grasp the club with your right hand and gently push down, feeling the stretch in your left wrist. Switch hands and repeat.

Remember to warm up before doing any flexibility exercises and to stretch slowly and gently to avoid injury.
