[@Raiders1234]

My golf instructor is 70% this stuff, and 30% swing teachings and it has helped tremendously.

[@petesson1880]

68 now, worked construction in my 20's -40's. Developed back issue in L4 area and took pk's for a few years then went to injections in that area. They helped a ton but it looks like the evil monster reared its head once again on hole 11 at Durango hills a week ago. It's not wanting to leave. Have still been working out legs and arms and have done stretching , inversion table, and hanging in a doorway. Will incorporate these stretches and hope it gets up and leaves my aching back soon. We all don't pay enough mind to stretching because we think it looks dumb and think it's a waste of time, but it is probably the most important thing we can all do. Thanks and I subbed and liked!

[@jakbares]

Thanks

[@micksumo]

Think these are awesome with people even less mobile due to being more static during the pandemic.... love these! Keep up the good work

[@neilnutley3846]

These are great, I used to train in kick boxing and Muay Thai and used to be very flexible. Yet I had an injury in my shoulder so had to retire from that. After a few years hiatus I decided to take up golf. These exercises really show how much of that flexibility I’ve lost. Thank you for posting, great video.

[@petermargaretatkinson2258]

Great video guys I’m 75 and have been doing a similar range of exercises to maintain my flexibility for about 14 years now. There is no doubt in my mind that these are essential to minimising injury and fatigues and facilitating good swing mechanics All of which increase the enjoyment of the game. Yoga is what started me off on this course

[@meandmygolf.]

Great to hear! is this Peter of Margaret? I really wish I had done yoga a long time ago. The moves are so beneficial to golf!!

[@maryfagnant6842]

Thank you for this I just picked up golf at the end of last season and my back swing is trash because of mobility i broke my back 15 years ago and these stretching exercises have really helped me not just with golf but back pain as well

[@champaignwoodworkersclub207]

I am 67 YO and started a stretching routine similar to this about 18 months ago. I feel better than I have in many, many years. Can't wait for the weather to get better here so I can get back on the course with my new swing. I will add a couple of these to my stretching routine. I can't emphasize enough how a daily stretching routine will improve your general health and help you feel better and minimize pain. And, it will most likely improve your golf game as well.

[@Padreruf]

Thanks...I have played golf since age 30 (now 73) -- but developed a plasma tumor on my L4 -- later turned into blood cancer multiple myeloma. I always did minimal stretching, but I have had to stretch now for 3 years just to keep/regain some sort of strength and flexibility. Your stretches really helped me loosen up my spine and hips...

[@kenhaldenstein6367]

60? I just turned 64, and a lot of good golfing friends are older. Thanks a lot for this, I am stiff and have a "bad back," but I love golf, and desperately need to drive it longer than my current 200 yards, so this will be great! I really appreciate it!

[@vuduchild74]

I love seeing this! I am currently 47 years old and didn't start playing golf until I was 43. Around that same time, I lost 75 lbs in 9 months, with the help of DDP Yoga. Every move that you've shown here is included in the DDPY workouts. My driving distance in those four years has gone from 220 to 270 yards. Granted, developing a better golf swing over time has helped with that, but the flexibility gained from DDPY is a huge contributor. I highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys golf, whether young or old. Great video guys!

[@UTUBEAR88]

I am a pro wrestling fan and loved DDP the wrestler. Is DDP Yoga good and would you reccomend it @vuduchild74?

[@davidn3971]

Great video guys. Looking to return to golf this year having had a few years off. I was looking for something to add to my general strength and cycling exercises and this is perfect to increase my general flexibility. At 58 I've been doing regular pilates/yoga exercises for several years and it does make a massive difference with your general flexibility and core strength. 👍

[@jasonbyers9589]

Great stuff guys. With bad knees, traditional exercise is difficult, and with 3 young kids, a full yoga routine is hard to find time for. But these 5 basic stretches seem achievable. Keep the great content coming!👍👍

Great Stephen. Some great ones here but make sure you are careful on the back.

[@coreyl7358]

My back too buddy...hamstring stretches really help loosen up my lower back. Tight hamstrings really pull against the lower back, try stretching them out with simple toe touches.

[@robertharper172]

Thanks guys I really have been looking for some exercises to do to help my golf swing

[@canuck_gamer3359]

I started weight lifting as part of what turned into a fitness routine at age 14. I got into golf later, in my 40's and at age 50 enjoyed my first full season of semi-serious golf. When I began to take lessons, I learned pretty quickly that my muscular chest, arms and shoulders were probably doing me more harm than good as far as my golf swing was concerned. So over the off season I radically adjusted my training to include more stretching and more golf movements and about 30% less weight lifting, especially upper chest and bicep movements. The season is just about to begin so time will only tell whether it's helped along with the lessons!

[@josefloresjr.6264]

Great to see how more and more sports are becoming open minded about training other areas of fitness. That wasn’t the case before. I’ve got a few back problems, and this should help me. I’ll follow it on the app

[@meandmygolf.]

Yes it's definitely something we have become passionate about, especially as we are getting older ourselves. It is amazing the difference it can make to your golf swing! And that's great to hear Jose hopefully it can benefit you as well🙌🏌🏻‍♂️

Excellent lads

[@edwardcaldwell9644]

I love that you guys reply to everyone! Do you guys still analyze swing videos? I have a good one for you. I average around 170mph ball speed with driver, but the ball alternates between 300+ carry and 230 carry with plenty of slices, snap hooks, and pushes with the occasional perfect draw. The video also shows the club face appearing to come in perfect then massively twisting open at impact.🤷🏿‍♂️

[@meandmygolf.]

So the bad news is we don’t! The good news however is in March we will be releasing a four part golf swing series on our website where for the whole month of March we will be asking our members to upload videos of their progress to allow us to interact with them and provide any additional tips if required! Would this interest you Edward?

[@edwardcaldwell9644]

So in terms of the club face twisting at impact, that means you are hitting it out of the toe at impact. Stand a fraction closer to the ball could help this👍

Great Video as always guys, Getting that rotation is something i have been working on. how often would you say to do these exercises to help improve on getting that rotation?

[@meandmygolf.]

Hi Scott. Thanks for the comment. I would say that you would want to do at least something 3 times a week. The plan mixes things up as well so you work on a few different areas. These are just a few of my personal favourites for rotation.

[@debugginOut]

Will have to work more on these. I keep aggravating the intercostal muscle on my right side of my chest. I am not sure if it is not enough stretching or doing something wrong in my swing (or both).

Hi, I’m a 65 year young woman, and unfortunately have an old injury of a grade 6 dislocation in my left shoulder, arthritis in both shoulders and hips, also I suffer from labrynthitis, so for me to do anything like those exercises would put me out of golf for possibly weeks. I’m a stubborn person hence I still manage to play, and competitively,(20 handicapper ) but my loosen up exercises have to be a lot more tame than yours.

For some, there's a big difference between doing these stretches/exercises with you gripping a club and doing them without gripping a club. Perhaps these can be improved by simulating gripping a golf club (lol in one hand and again with the other hand). Maybe do it with a short stick while you're doing it. I hope that makes sense.

I am planning on integrating this into my off days. If I like MWF, I’ll do this and some other stretches on S-T-Th. TBD on: 1 - If it works 2 - I can maintain this schedule. My general rule is to ensure the DOMS has mostly receded before repeating a lift/move in my routine. So if I find myself super tight, I might take an extra day. Your mileage may vary.
