Fitness should be priority to a good player, to improve performance. Stretching before games has advantages including expanded flexibility, enhanced game execution, prevention from injury, counteracting muscle soreness and reducing stance stress. A warm-up prepares players physically and mentally through stimulation of the central nervous system.
Stretching in golf can help set the player up for a day on the course. Flexibility, strength, stability and coordination are required by the mechanism of a golf swing. Stretches may help improve golf swing as poor mobility can not produce club head speed.
