Flexibility

[Canary_Yellow]

I've come to realise that I'm incredibly inflexible - I am not old, but I have the flexibility of the oldest of the old!

Could anyone recommend me a good book that sets out some decent exercises to increase flexibility specifically for golf?

I've not tried it myself (nor would I rule it out), but would yoga not work?

Yoga is great for increasing flexibility, pilates too.

ive just started using elastic band exercises , seems to be working quite well

I was going to stay the same and its a bit of a stock answer I guess. If you did not want to go to a class there are loads of Yoga books. My Mrs has a library of them.

A good warm up before practice and play will go a long way.

Bro in law is not old, but suffers with muscle problems in his back, does Pilates and raves about it and now plays golf twice a week with out any problems!

Have a look at this. A pro I used to see was mad keen on it. He spoke about core strength and flexibility.....
