If you are a golfer that is above 50 years old, this may be the most important article you ever read! Did that get your attention? Golf stretching for more distance is the topic, and if you've watched your driving distance plummet, then take notice.
It's quite common, nearly the norm that this age bracket of golfer has lost a tremendous amount of flexibility. This directly affects your ability to make a full shoulder turn, and create that stored up energy (torque) in your core area.
If you feel tension in your golf swing it's most likely from tight golf muscles. You've heard the phrase "tension in golf is a killer", and what I want you to think about is tension being tight muscles, or a severely restricted range of motion.
Have you ever tried to make a big shoulder turn only to mishit the ball badly? Do you know what this happens? It's because your body had a certain level of flexibility, and if you go beyond that level (swinging outside your physical capabilities), you create tension, and tension is a killer of golf swing techique and speed.
So the type of stretching you should do if you want more distance is rotational, because the golf swing is a rotary movement.
So if you want to hit longer drives it's critical you incorporate core twisting movements. This will quickly improve your ability to make a bigger turn with no effort (tension), which will also improve your swing sequencs and solid ball contact.
If you're a senior golfer, this should be your focus. And added benefit is lower back pain
