Overview
Learn how to do the Fingers Stretch Warmup Drill. Most golfers only hit balls on the range to get loose before playing on the course. That’s a mistake. Before hitting any balls, it’s crucial to stretch out your hands, forearms, shoulders, and fingers. This simple hand stretch will get the blood flowing into your fingers.

Golf fitness is now considered crucial amongst all tour pros. Golf fitness is something you can do at home, so purchase a yoga mat, unfurl it in your front room, home office, or bedroom, and start doing some golf-specific fitness workouts.

Getting golf fit is one of the quickest and easiest ways to improve your golf game. And hey, the side effects aren’t bad either: live longer, increase the quality of life, and release loads of happy endorphins into your bloodstream, gain muscle and flexibility, reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease, reduce your risk for type 2 diabetes, strengthen your bones and muscles, prevent falls (falls are the leading cause of death, injury and hospital admissions among the elderly), reduce your risk of some cancers.

Stand tall. Interlock fingers. Palms face down (see image below).

Raise your arms to the sky (see the image below). Reach up as tall as you can. You will feel a stretch in the outside muscles of your arms and shoulders.

Step 3: Keep Score
The good news is that you can simulate competition during your golf fitness drills by keeping score. Do 2 to 5 minutes.
