Get Warmed Up
You may be wondering what exactly constitutes a warm-up because each person has a different athletic ability. You don’t have to hit a whole bucket of balls on the driving range, but you should take the time to hit a dozen balls. You should also start with the shorter ranges and work up to the longer shots. It is also a good idea to do some light exercises. You may want to take a short walk before you start your game. The main reason that so many men have suffered from heart attacks while golfing is because they are out of shape. Their cardiovascular system is not prepared for the exertion that they meet while on the golf course. Even if you’re playing a relaxed game with friends or family, you are still capable of exerting yourself on the course and often more than you think you will. If you are not a regular player, you will need to take the time to warm-up. This may mean that you need to go to the driving range or practice green before the rest of your party shows up. Many golfers will spend some time practicing at home or at the driving range and then park a further distance than usual from the clubhouse and allow that walk to be a part of their warm-up as well. As your physical condition improves, you may not need to take as much time in your warm-up, but you still want to take the time to get stretched and warmed up to keep from pulling any muscles. When it is time for you to warm-up, don’t think that you have to hit the driving range with a lot of force. Warming up is your opportunity to work on a variety of different swings or issues you may be having on the course. It is also a good time for you to get used to the weather conditions. You are going to play differently depending on the weather that day. You will golf differently on a windy day than you would if the air is still. Driving is a good way to get going and to loosen up your muscles. Work up to longer drives in your warm-up, but remember that ball control is more important here than how far you can hit the ball. Many people think that they are warmed up once they have hit a few good drives. This is not necessarily true. You also need to take some time chipping and putting as well. A warm-up is also the time to get your emotions under control and to practice relaxing as well. Be sure to make the most of your swing and practice anything you may have learned in recent lessons. Driving and smacking the ball around because you are frustrated is no way to warm-up and practice. You really need to use this time to relax, although bashing a ball with all you have is going to probably help you relieve some stress. At the same time, you take the risk of injuring yourself. Another mistake that people make when warming up is that they practice with new clubs, swings or trying out different tips. This is not necessarily the best time to do this. Use your warm-up time to focus on the game ahead of you and not to practice. Warm-ups can also be a great confidence builder if you use the time wisely and don’t get yourself frustrated with practice. You won’t build your confidence up if you are continually making errors in a practice session. If you are doubtful about the need for a good warm-up the proof will be when you hit your first tee and then compare it to your fourth. You may see that you do need a warm-up so that you can get your game started off on a good foot. |
