WATCH: These simple stretches will improve your golf swing mobility

Mobility is essential in freeing up and accessing the different components of a golf swing.

Flexibility and joint mobility are key to ensuring fluidity and a full range of motion, which only have positive effects on results.

Making an effort to improve mobility in key areas such as the hips and shoulders can improve swing consistency and unlock clubhead speed and trajectory that you may not have known was possible.

In addition, mobility improvement has an incredible impact in reducing the risk of injury and ultimately allowing you to continue playing the sport for longer.

For golfers looking to lower their handicap, mobility work is absolutely necessary.

The lower your figure drops, the harder you have to work to make those micro-movements that will see improvements in your game.

Investing in your mobility will not only improve your game but keep you in it for longer.

With the sport of golf, an invaluable way to get out, socialise and stay fit, making an effort now is a small price to pay to maximise longevity.

While many of these stretches are accessible and can be completed in your garden or living room, taking out a membership at your local gym could pay dividends for both your longevity and golf game.

Whether it’s a stretching area with aids such as mats, rollers and bands or free weights and machines, a gym’s facilities can help you access those improvements in your physical ability to gain a yard here or there on the golf course.

Implementing these simple movements will not only improve your game, they will also improve your well-being.
