Golf Fitness 101 with Alex Fisher: Flexibility

How to use a foam roller to stay loose and flexible, especially during the winter.

For many Colorado golfers, the cold and snow-covered winter forces us to make travel plans to out-of-state golf destinations or anxiously count down the days to warmer weather, thawed grass, and longer days of spring and summer. However, just because you're not out on the course regularly doesn't mean you can't improve your game during the winter.

One thing all great golfers have in common is flexibility. A loose and fluid swing requires great flexibility in your back, core, and legs. PGA Pro Alex Fisher is here to help and his video below shows tips and exercises to increase your flexibility and movement by elongating muscle tissue and keeping your core and legs loose and elastic. It's no secret that a PGA TOUR player has a 24/7/365 approach to his game. Even if you can't dedicate that much time to your own golf game, lower scores during the summer can start with these simple foam roller flexibility stretches in the winter.
