Flexibility for Golfers
The golf swing takes your body through multiple movements that require your muscles to react in a fluid motion. If any of the muscles are tight, it's going to affect your golf swing adversely. Flexibility is an important component in any serious golfer's strategy. It's not only important to loosen up before each round, it's also important to keep your muscles loose and spasm-free when you're off the course. . . .

Golf Stretching Routines
Before you stretch, it is wise to warm up the muscles and joints first. This will provide blood flow to the muscles and produce lubricating fluid to the joints. The warm up is easy to accomplish. It can be as simple as parking at the far end of the parking lot and walking or jogging to the clubhouse or performing jumping jacks or leg squats. The idea is to get the heart rate up slightly, so 5 to 10 minutes will suffice. Once you've limbered up, you can begin to stretch the muscles out. . . .

The Importance of Hydration on the Golf Course
My bottled water supplier's slogan is "We deliver 70 % of who you are." An apt slogan for reminding their customers that human beings consist of 70 % water. This is true of the brain as well. It is mainly water up there between your ears. As your water levels drop through dehydration, your focus and concentration drops as well. With golf being a mental game, you can't afford to be giving strokes away for something as simple as staying hydrated on the golf course. . . .

Golf Fitness Routines to Strengthen Your Swing
When performing golf fitness strength conditioning, you'll want to concentrate on compound exercises that mimic the movements of a golf swing. The power from a golf swing comes mainly from the legs, back, shoulders, and core muscles. These are the muscles you should focus the majority of your efforts on. Strength is also derived from flexibility training. A flexible muscle stretches to capacity and produces power when you contract the muscles. Think of an elastic band stretching and then "snapping" closed upon release. . . .

Here's what our members are saying ...
"Your information has turned my swing around...breakin' 80 again, and workin' on breakin' par!"
Rob Duncan
“My handicap went from 5 to scratch with your help”
Tom Snyder
"Before I used your setup techniques I had a lot of bad drives and flubbed wood and iron shots. Now that is not much of a problem anymore. 20-25 yards longer drives in the fairway and better long iron play."
George Helm
I am now able to drive from the tee, around 180 m, and I no longer feel any great pressure or nervousness. It feels like I am starting to play real golf.
Ron
"Tried your routine in my yard for a while then just had to take it to the driving range. The results were amazing! I hit 70 balls and only had 5 bad shots. I considered those “bad” because they didn’t go as straight or as long as the other 65, and I could trace the problem of those bad shots back to too much grip strength or being out of balance on impact. I played golf with my friend yesterday and had some incredible drives, perfectly straight at my target and the newly found distances blew me and my buddy away! I’ve got to go back now and figure out my new distances on my clubs! My pitching wedge was 100-110 yards I’m now hitting it 130-140!
Thanks again,"
Clint
You've brought my game to a new level. I've been an 11/12 index for 5 years. I'll be under 10 next month and my goal is 5. You're ideas are long overdue!
Mike Fleck
"I've worked with Tracy for years and had nothing but success. His visualization techniques are the best I have ever seen, and his ground breaking Dynamic Balance routines are something that every golfer, whether beginner or professional should use."
Gary Brewer II, PGA Professional
