1. Good Golf Posture to minimize stress. I would bet you have to much of an "S" in your spine at address. Read this  http://thesandtrap.com/t/56069/good-golf-posture-how-to-address-the-golf-ball

2. Do some Yoga, its great at loosening up everything in and around the hips. Try this workout http://www.4shared.com/video/IniQv_mC/P90XDISC04YogaX.html You'll feel loose as a goose afterwards. Do it in the morning if possible

The video is a little corny but these exercises have worked for me when I've had some SI joint pain.

Anybody can help me in regards to the sore joints of sacrum or namely IS joint due to playing golf ?

Thank you.

I have had an SI joint issue since high school.  Besides the advice and stretches from @SavvySwede and @mvmac you could try this belt specifically designed for the SI joint.

http://www.serola.net/serola-sacroiliac-belt

Below is my review.  There are quite a few other positive reviews as well.

I use this belt during weight training and also when doing swing drills when my SI is acting up.  I have worn it playing too.

The other stretch to do to alleviate symptoms is a quad stretch where you sit into the stretch then stand up or lean into the stretch.  This stretches not only the quad, but the psoas muscle which is attached to the SI joint.  When the SI joint is displaced causing pain, the psoas can keep it from getting back in place.  Stretching helps this issue.

Google Psoas stretches.

As with what @boogielicious and @mvmac mentioned for specific stretches. I recommend just becoming more active in general and stretching the whole lower body as well. You can have a tight IT band or tight Hamstrings that can cause tendinitis, or joint pain because it is pulling everything out of alignment. If you sit in a chair all day, I would guess your hamstrings and calf muscles are shortened.

I've been stretching my legs two to three times a day and have gotten rid of a lot of my pain in my hip region.

Totally agree.  As we get older, we really need to stretch everyday as a routine even if you haven't worked out.  Problem areas need multiple times a day attention as Matt said above.

I was using a pushcart today and noticed a little bit of stiffness in that area late in the round. I did do some heavy lifting earlier in the day but I think walking with that slight forward lean into the pushcart may also be a contributing factor. Something to think about.
