It is time to change the embarrassed culture that exists in our sport when it comes to warming-up prior to performance.
In other sports people warm their bodies up in preparation for the activity ahead without even thinking about it or questioning why they are doing so.
What the majority of golfers seem to forget is that golf is similar to sprinting in that it is a very explosive action which culminates in a lot of force travelling through the body over a very short period of time.
Research has shown that a 10-minute warm-up routine before your round increases your distance by around 5 to 10 yards and helps you to swing the club with more control, so increasing the quantity of good shots and preventing injuries.
