Ready to Go (The Importance of a Proper Warm Up)



How often do you find yourself on the first tee, stiff and nervous, anticipating the first tee shot with a 'hit and hope' mentality?

Do you find yourself taking a few holes to get warmed up?

Are you finishing your rounds sore and tired?

Many of these issues and more can be resolved with a proper warm up

That's why it's so important to warm up properly before you practice or play


OBJECTIVES FOR A PROPER WARM UP?

👉 Get your body and mind ready to perform by the time you stand on the first tee

👉 Maintain energy and focus throughout the round

👉 Help prevent injuries

👉 Make it easier for you to swing freely

👉 Focus your mind into the present


TIME AND EQUIPMENT

A proper warm up doesn't need to be long or use a lot of equipment.

It could be longer and use more equipment for professional golfers who have a lot on the line every week and need their bodies to perform

But for the average golfer, it doesn't need to be long or complicated, it simply needs to meet the objectives above


POWER STRETCHING

Power Stretching is my favorite method for warming up

It requires a player to strategically squeeze their muscles through various ranges of motion

Power Stretching:

1. Improves Range of Motion Ready to Go (The Importance of a Proper Warm Up)

2. Activates the Nervous System and Stimulates Muscles

3. Focuses the Mind into the Present


THE POWER WARM UP

The Power Warm Up is the first thing I teach every player I work with

I believe it's the most important thing a player can do consistently if they're serious about playing well and playing for a long time

The power warm up has a compounding effect

The more you do it, the more effective it becomes

It's comprised of 10 power stretches and takes less than 10 minutes

It should be performed:

1. Every morning within an hour of waking as part of your morning routine

2. Before you practice or play

3. Before a workout or training session

4. To help combat stiffness from being sedentary (working at a desk, traveling, etc)

Service Review: Dr. Mike Fitzsimmons | ProActive Spine and Movement, Carrollton, TX

  SERVICE REVIEW:  DR. MIKE FITZSIMMONS ProActive Spine and Movement 2761 E Trinity Mills Rd; Suite #100, Carrollton, TX 75006 As a PGA Golf Professional, it’s important my body is able to move properly. Whether it’s playing the game I love, or helping others through coaching or club fitting, I’m constantly on my feet, moving, bending, twisting, and loading high levels of force on my body. With a minor herniation in my lower back, I’ve had a history of back injuries that creep in from time to time and take me away from what I love doing most. Over the years I’ve gone to see a handful of Chiropractors and have usually had less than desirable experiences. Dr. Mike Fitzsimmons of ProActive Spine and Movement, however, is different. Dr. Mike’s approach is more than just a “rack n’ crack.” While manipulations are part of his toolbox of techniques for improving the way you move, it’s only one of the many tools he uses. Blending traditional chiropractic techniques with physical thera...

Up and Down: A PGA Professional's Perspective on Golf and Philosophy

Image
  Up and Down: A PGA Professional’s Perspective on Golf and Philosophy As a PGA Professional, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing firsthand how golf transcends being just a sport and evolves into a profound metaphor for life. The rhythmic sound of a well-struck ball, the lush greens stretching out before us - it’s more than just a game; it’s a philosophical journey through the ups and downs of existence. 1. Guiding the Trajectory: In golf, much like in life, the trajectory of the ball represents our journey. From the initial drive off the tee to navigating hazards and undulating greens, every shot mirrors the twists and turns life throws our way. As a PGA Professional, I find joy in guiding golfers to embrace the unpredictability, emphasizing adaptability, persistence, and strategic thinking on their golfing and existential journeys. 2.
