Hunchback NO MORE!
Struggling with rounded shoulders at the set-up position? This drill will improve your posture and back strength.
Start standing tall (straight up and down) with the arms extended in “T” position from the shoulders (thumbs up). Feel the upper back engaged while hinging from the hips into golf posture. Hold for 3-5 breaths and repeat 5 times.
(*avoid if there is a back or neck injury)
If the
shoulders are open, take the drill to the next level by placing a club along the upper back. (*Do not place the club on neck)
