Post Your Warm Up Routine

[twosmalltowns]

Here is a test I did. Old: Did 5 min stretches ( see lists above) Hit 20 -30 balls, Putt for 5-7 min. New: Full regime: Light workout ,(get heart rate up for 5 min.) 10-15 min stretches ( esp Lars, ribs, man strings, hip flexor a, hamstrings, then hamstrings.) Easy wedges, 75% swings, then full swings with wedge, 8 iron , driver and two clubs I am likely to use one holes #1 & 2. 2 putting drills for 6 minutes, then get my putting distances confirmed. Results: dropped 1.5 strokes off my index in a month. ( mostly from fewer dumb mistakes in first 3 holes due to stiff musculature .) Hit 'em straight.

Search this on YouTube - The Ultimate 5 Minute Golf Warm Up I found this over the winter and started using it this year. It's quick and gets everything loose. I like to get in 20 balls and some chips and putts as well when possible.

Take clubs out of the trunk.

Grab the trunk, squat and stretch spine and sides.

Load clubs onto cart.

Check in at desk, get my free warm-up bucket of 30 balls; go to range.

Stretch shoulders

Take out orange whip and take some swings with it.

Take out PW & hit some 9-3 shots

Hit some full swings with PW @ 70%

Hit some full shots with 8i - see where my swing is today....

Hit a few drives - see where that is today....

Leave about 10 balls in the tray

Go to putting green and lag putt until called to the tee. (I allow 20 mins for this)

Thanks @tefunk I found this video. I like it because it is my hips that are stiff. What she calls gentle legs swing are not

what I call gentle.

Yea, she's obviously a little warmed up already when going through the routine (she's moving pretty quick) haha. Nonetheless, it's a pretty good, quick way to get loosened up. Glad you found it helpful too

Yes this young lady's routine was the best I have found. Most of the other golf warm ups involve getting on the ground/floor which I have never been to a golf

course that I could do this at.
