A structured document, often in Portable Document Format, that outlines a series of exercises designed to improve flexibility and range of motion specifically for golf. It typically includes visual aids or detailed instructions for each stretch. As an example, it may feature illustrations demonstrating proper form for hamstring stretches, torso twists, and shoulder rotations. These documents are created by physical therapists, golf professionals, or fitness experts.
Following such a routine can lead to several advantages for golfers. Increased flexibility allows for a greater range of motion in the golf swing, potentially leading to increased power and distance. Furthermore, targeted stretching reduces the risk of injuries common to golfers, such as back pain, shoulder impingement, and elbow tendinitis. The concept of pre-round warm-ups and post-round cool-downs has been emphasized in sports training for decades, and documents formalizing this practice for golf have grown in popularity with increased awareness of injury prevention.
