Most of you reading this will be frequent visitors of my site and will likely have read many of the pages. You know I provide great content and very rarely recommend any golf products on any of the 100+ pages in this site. The product must be exceptional before I recommend it. Golf Fitness must be fun!My commitment is to my readers and visitors and those of you who own my mental game program. In a bit I'll tell you about a great program I found that makes golf fitness a blast. I assure you, I never thought I'd use the word "blast" and fitness in the same sentence!Being focused on fitness I looked for some good stretching routines I could put to use just before teeing off. I learned a few excellent stretching moves from Greg Norman. These stretches increased my flexibility immediately. I use them before each round. What is particularly good about these is how efficient they are. There are 3 separate yet similar stretches that take no more than 2 minutes combined and you can step right to the first tee without feeling like as stiff as a board. They are simple. First, while standing up place a driver across your back, horizontally, and hold it in place with the inside of your elbows. So your arms are at your side, a bit behind you, holding the club inside your elbows. This exercise and a critical review of how to choose a program on fitness for golf is continued here.
