Practice To Warm The Muscles
By James Hau
Practice is not only a way to reinforce your golfing skills, it is also an effective means of warming the muscles you will be using on the course.
How many times have you gone out on a course and played poorly for the first two or three holes, only to show remarkable improvement as the game progressed ? You improved because your muscles had time to warm up , resulting in a better game and increased confidence.
If you absolutely hate practice but still want to go out and enjoy the game, at least practice aiming and setting up with your woods, irons and putter at home. While you probably cant hit any balls with your woods and irons, you can stroke 10 short and 10 long putts on a carpet before going out to play. This will produce some rhythm and balance and will help to warm up your muscles. It will also help to put you in the mood to play golf. You will now be able to play better than if you had no practice at all.
Just think what your game would be like if you warm up before going to the first tee. Getting your muscles ready for golf is especially important if you dont play or practice often. A proper warm up prevents many aches and pains and improves your rhythm during pre-round practice. So practice if only to warm up your muscles.
