GOLF TIP OF THE MONTH PAGE 11 AROUND THE BEND OCTOBER 2019 Ron Nutty, PGA Head Golf Professional Pre Round Stretching will improve your game and keep you playing longer! Golfers are at risk for a variety of injuries, particularly as age sets in and joints and muscles stiffen. Many of these injuries involve the back, hips and legs. Fortunately, many of these tweaks and ailments can be averted by adhering to a stretching regimen before swinging a club. These stretches will keep the body loose, lowering the risk of injury and benefiting players on the course. Please check with your doctor if you have questions, concerns or limitations. Practice Swinging Slowly To stretch out the back before a round, simply rotate the shoulders and hips to about the same degree as in a backswing, doing so slowly in the early stages with a club to help loosen the muscles. Make sure to keep the spine vertical during follow-through to avoid hyperextension. Repeat as needed until the back feels loose. This stretch loosens the back, making the body more able to pivot during the swing, decreasing the chance of injury and increasing the chances of a quality shot. Reaching Lateral Side Stretch To complete this stretch, stand with feet shoulder-width apart, then slowly bend to one side while reaching over your head with the hand. From there, return to the middle and bend the other way, making sure not to bend forward. Repeat as needed. Stretching the sides is vital to a golf swing because of the amount of movement and torquing of the body during a swing. This stretch lowers the risk of a pulled muscle or other tweaks that can be experienced during a swing. Reaching Down Triceps Stretch To complete this stretch, reach behind the head with both hands and the elbows pointing upward. Then, reach down the back with the hands and return to center. Repeat until the arms feel loose and relaxed. The triceps help generate speed in a golf swing; keeping them loose and flexible is vital to a fluid swing and quality shots off the teebox or fairway.

TIPOF THE MONTH

3. Drop the racket head and accelerate through contact Now that we have prepared and moved into position it is time to hit the ball. To generate pace and also help us control the ball, we need to “drop the racket head” under the ball and accelerate from under the ball. The fastest part of our swing should be on contact. 4. Finish/Follow through The control for our stroke comes from the follow through. The ball will tend to “fly” when we stop the racket head on contact or shortly after contact. To improve your control try to allow the racket head to follow through and continue in its path towards the target. Try to incorporate some of these tips on your backhand next time you step on court and turn that weakness into something your opponents will become scared of facing.

By Luke Burden, Director of Athletics

Why is my backhand weak?

Often players tend to lack confidence in their backhand which really limits them to what they are able to do on the court.

Have a read through these tips to improve your backhand and have more fun competing on court.

The most important stage in any stoke is the preparation and this is no different with the backhand.

1. Prepare the racket head This is the most important step and needs to be done before anything else. As you can see in the picture, the racket head is up and is prepared by turning the hips and shoulders.Often players think of “taking the racket back”. Often this confuses players as it is most natural to take the racket back without turning. If you are having trouble generating pace or control on the backhand, think about turning the hips and shoulders instead of taking the racket back. 2. Move to the ball This may sound obvious, however there is a correct way to move to the ball. We often hear we need to side step across to the ball, however to enable us to prepare the racquet head and turn the hips and shoulders we must “turn” and “run” to the ball. We sidestepping we won’t be turned, resulting in a weak backhand that will often fall short. As you can see in the photo sequence, Novak Djokovic turns and runs before hitting the ball.
