Warming up before a round of golf is essential to improve performance and preventing injuries. A proper warm-up also reduces muscle stiffness and the risk of strains, especially in the shoulders, back, and wrists—key areas used in golf. It increases blood flow to muscles, enhancing flexibility and range of motion, which helps you swing more smoothly and accurately. Additionally, warming up also mentally prepares your focus and concentration on the course. Taking even 5-10 minutes to stretch can make a big difference in your game and overall comfort.
