Golf swing flexibility exercises that are the most effective are not what you read in all the so-called fitness for golf books. I make this bold statement because I bought every golf fitness book and was so disappointed I wrote my own Ultimate Golf Fitness Manual.

What I didnt see in most of these books was dynamic (movement) stretches, especially for core flexibility. The golf swing is a rotation, therefore it only makes sense to incorporate as many core rotational movements, stretches and exercises into your routine as possible.

This is more prevalent in the senior golfer. He/she has lost a large amount of core rotation and in return massive yards off the tee. Thats the biggest complaint I hear among senior golfers is their lack of distance off the tee.

But, whats frustrating for me is that same golfer will buy more equipment, take more lessons and hit more balls and not see improvement. This is because the root cause has still not been approached.

Until you fix the machine, you will not see improvement. Your bodys physical capabilities dictate your golf swing efficiency and power. Until you realize this and make the commitment to improve this, youll continue to be a very frustrated golfer.

The great thing about golf swing flexibility exercises are they dont require any equipment and can be done anywhere. In your officeat your homeeven on the golf course. There is no reason (excuse) not to participate in a golf swing flexibility exercise program.

If time is a valuable commodity you dont have a lot of, then doing just 3-4 rotational stretches daily and youll see a huge difference in your power and distance.

There is only an upside to doing it.

How about adding 30 yards to your drives? No more back pain? Feeling like your 20 years younger and playing like it too?

I could go on and on about the benefits, but youve got to believe it and do it.

Just remember the golf swing is a rotational movement, so you should train your body from a rotational strength and flexibility standpoint. Taking this concise and yet effective approach will give you the quickest results from your golf swing flexibility exercises.
