Summary
Stretching is often the go-to for golfers looking to warm up, loosen tight muscles, or prevent injuries—but stretching alone isn't enough to support a strong, consistent golf swing. In this episode of the Yoga for Golf® Podcast, we break down why passive stretching falls short and what your body actually needs to move better on the course. We talk about the difference between stretching and mobility, how strength and control through range of motion matter, and why golfers need more than just flexibility to improve performance and longevity. If your pre-round routine is mostly stretching—or if you feel "loose" but still unstable, restricted, or inconsistent—this episode will help you rethink how you prepare your body for golf and what to add to your routine for better results.
