Warm Up & Cool Down Exercises

Warming Up
You should always warm up for approximately 10 to 15 minutes before starting your game of golf. The warm up should consist of mainly stretches and will help prevent potential injuries during your game and also prepare your body for the movements and stresses put on your muscles and body during your game of golf.

BRISK WALK... To start your warm up it is suggested that you walk briskly for 100m. You may do this from your car to the golf club or from the club to the first hole. Whatever is appropriate for you. Then follow your walk with the warm up exercises.

Cooling Down
You should always cool down for approximately 10 minutes after your game of golf. Your muscles have tightened during the round of golf and a probable buildup of lactic acid and if this isn't counteracted injuries may result. The cool down should consist of mainly stretches and will help prevent potential injuries as a result of the movement, stresses etc. during your game. NOTE: The same exercises from your warm up are also appropriate for your cool down...see below for exercises.

LEISURELY WALK ...To conclude your cool down it is suggested that you walk leisurely for 100m. You may do this from the last hole to the club house or from the club to your car. Whatever is appropriate for you. (Suggestion: Park your car further away from the club house).
