Roll the Head
Loosen the neck and shoulder muscles by rotating or rolling the head several times in each direction. Just to save some time, as well as to make sure the muscles are warm, you can do this one in the shower every morning.

Stretch Upper Back
Holding a club as shown, assume the position shown and raise the arms, pulling them forward, toward your head, as far as you can. Hold for a minute, then relax and repeat. This exercise opens up the upper back and shoulder region.

Repeat all these exercises as many times as you can, gradually building up the number of repetitions.

Do the exercises when your body is warm. Do a few minutes on the treadmill or stationary bike to work up a sweat. Or take a hot shower before you begin stretching.

By the way, don’t limit your exercising to the off-season. This should become a year-around regimen, at least three or four times a week and especially important on the days you play golf. Once you establish that regimen, you’re on your way to feeling better and scoring better.
