| You know that aching feeling you get in your back around the 13th hole? You are not alone! Many golfers will experience muscle fatigue and lower back pain at some point during the round. How can you minimize lower back and glute discomfort during the round? My first suggestion is to implement a golf specific fitness program targeting your core and glutes. My second suggestion is to continue stretching every three to four holes. The following glute and back stretch is great when you begin to feel tension in your back or hips. Par level: Place your right ankle on the outside of your left knee. Bend your left knee as if you are sitting back into a chair. Hold for a few breaths. | ||

| Birdie level: Hinge at your hips, keeping your back flat and bring your chest towards your shin. Hold for a few more breaths and switch sides. | ||
