Warming Up before Hitting the Golf Course
Part of the Golf All-in-One For Dummies Cheat Sheet
A warm-up up at the golf course isn't the same as a golf practice session. Warming up includes stretching, getting a feel for the golf club, making ball contact, and building confidence; it takes place 30 to 40 minutes before you hit the first tee. Here's a sample warm-up plan.
| Time (Minutes) | Location | Activity |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Putting/chipping green | Brief stretching/putts |
| 5 | Putting/chipping green | chipping |
