[Kim Haneul's FunFun Golf] Tour Player's Pre-Tournament Routine

Stretching with a Foam Roller After a 10-Minute Jog
Carefully Packing Clothes and Pouch After Squats

Today, let's talk about the pre-tournament routine that tour players follow. Amateur golfers can also benefit greatly by following it.

In the morning, you need to thoroughly warm up your body. Warm-up exercises are very important. First, start with jogging. Wear running shoes instead of golf shoes. Jog for about 5 to 10 minutes at a light pace, just enough to break a slight sweat.

After jogging, do some stretching using a foam roller. Begin by loosening the back muscles. Then, relieve tension by gently turning your neck from side to side. Many golfers pay attention to stretching the front and back muscles of the legs, but often neglect the sides. Even if it feels a bit painful, you should focus on stretching the sides of your legs. Next, loosen your shoulders and sides as well.

Stretching with a foam roller is essential. When I went to Japan at age 27, there were many older women than me. What I noticed there was that every player stretched. If you want to play golf for a long time, you must not neglect stretching.

You should also do some simple strength exercises. Squats are the best. Before a round, don’t overdo it. Stop when your muscles feel slightly warm. Doing squats helps maintain good posture during address, so I highly recommend squats for golfers.

Once your body is warmed up, get dressed. Choose apparel that looks neat and tidy. Lastly, prepare your pouch. Include energy drinks, sunglasses, sunscreen, chocolates, and so on. Once everything is ready, all that’s left is to hit powerful shots on the course. A former champion with 14 wins on the Korea-Japan Tour and a sportainer
