This article provides a collection of simple but practical suggestions which will help you sharpen your game before you step up to the first tee.

1. By warming up before you tee off you can significantly improve the quality of your game. As strange as exercises sounded to golfers in the early years, the reality is that golf has changed significantly and essentially almost all golfers participating in competitive golf follow particular exercise programs these days.

2. Golf exercise and stretching is the ultimate combination to sharpen the golfers swing quickly and efficiently. Golfers need that blend of dynamic strength specific to the golf swing and the range of motion to hold it for 18 holes.

3. Do not fall into the mistake of stretching only. Stretching without strengthening does not duplicate permanent range of motion improvements. An over-stretched muscle that doesn't have enough strength opens up the possibilities for injury

4. An illustration of golf exercise and stretch is doing a back hyperextension for strength, and then lying on your back, grabbing your knees and pulling them into your chest to stretch your back. That would be the perfect blend for your lower back.

5. Don't be apprehensive to use a golf exercise DVD. It is a great alternative to going to a gym or just personally counting on your own ideas for motivation and training.

Golf fitness exercises and stretching can take you to the "next level". Training your body with light weights, exercise tubing, medicine balls and exercise balls is one of the easiest and most affordable methods to accomplish your golfing goals. These methods can deliver big dividends in a short period of time.
