Whenever I go head out to practice or play golf, I always make sure that I take time to do some golf warm up exercises. I’m not talking about going to the gym for a rigorous workout.
This is the golf warm up exercise Routine I use:
a.) Start with some simple neck rolls - Relax your shoulders, put your chin down to your chest and slowly roll your head to the right. Then slowly roll your head back to the left. Be sure to use a slow motion to get a full stretch to loosen your neck. Do this golf warm up exercise about 10 to 15 times.
b.) Next I like to do some shoulder rolls - Stand with your feet shoulder width apart looking forward. Lift your shoulders up and roll them to the back and down. Do this golf warm up exercise 10 or 15 times.
Standing with your feet about shoulder width apart and your knees slightly bent. Take your driver and hold the driver with the grip in your right hand and the hosel in your left hand. Keep your feet firmly planted on the ground.
This exercise starts with my arms outstretched at chest height in front of your body. Begin by rotating to the right as far as you can and then slowly rotate back to left as far as you can.
Be sure to use a slow fluid motion to avoid pulling a muscle while getting maximum benefit from the rotation. Do this golf warm up exercise 15 to 20 times in both directions. Read the rest of this entry

Keep your head down through the swing until the momentum in your follow through naturally brings your head around.
