Warm up: If you are like me the first couple holes can make or break my round. For a good start here are my keys to warming up.

  • Get to the golf course with time to spare, at least 20 minutes.
  • Take a brisk walk.
  • Exercise the big muscles, as shown in the above video.
  • 10-20 practice swings gradually increasing the length of the swing each time. swing both right handed and left handed.
