Contrary to most peoples thoughts, golf involves some very extensive movements which most people that do not participate in sports may not realize. Most golfers are using a wide range of different muscles in their body. A good set of golf stretching exercises are important during warm ups.

With all the twisting, swinging and the follow through with their shots, it can lead to lots of pulls and straining of tendons and muscles. This happens because the tendons and muscles are tight if they have not been stretched in a while.

Most golfers including the pros go through a series of stretching exercises before a round of golf. Most pros even have a strict regimen of stretching they do on a regular basis.
