Golf Clubs � Golf Drivers � Do Your Stretches

Swinging golf drivers is perhaps the most physical aspect of playing golf, which is why you should always warm up before you pick up your golf clubs.

Swinging golf drivers is quite a violent act on the human body � you are twisting and contorting before thrusting all your energy through your golf clubs � and if you are not careful you could do yourself some serious damage.

Warming up is one of several things you can do to help reduce the risk of injury before you pick up your golf clubs and attempt to use golf drivers. You can also:

• Take a lesson with a professional PGA golfer who can help you with the technique of your swing.
• Book a fitness instructor � the right physical conditioning and muscle strength can help improve your swing and reduce the risk of injury.
• Choose the right golf clubs and golf drivers for you � the right equipment will reduce the risk of strains and sprains.

More tips on preventing injury when you swing golf drivers and golf clubs in general include:

• If you feel achy and strained, listen to your body. Decrease play or rest completely � don't let the pains increase or get worse.
• Swinging golf clubs and golf drivers over and over can cause overuse injuries to the shoulder and elbow so make sure you get plenty of rest off the golf course to recover your muscles.
• Core conditioning is a way of exercising that increases the strength in your torso, back and shoulders � perfect for swinging golf clubs and golf drivers more effectively.

Do a proper Warm-up

Before you even pick up your golf clubs, let alone attempt to use golf drivers, you should warm up. At least a ten minute walk or job and stretching should be attempted.

Stretches you should do before your swing your golf clubs:

• Slowly roll your neck clockwise and counter clockwise
• Stretch your shoulders by holding out a golf club in front of you, raising it over your head and holding the pose. Hold the golf club similarly but behind your back and lift to stretch the shoulder � once more holding the pose. Finally pull your elbow with your opposing hand across your body and hold.
• Using golf drivers not only strains the neck and shoulders but the golf clubs can twist your spine when you swing. Rest your hands on your hips and bend from side to side, holding the pose. Then cross your arms with your hands resting on opposite shoulders and rotate the shoulders.

Swinging golf clubs

You should build up your swing gently at a driving range before hitting the golf course, staring with the easier pitching wedge and then building up to golf drivers.
