2nd Clinic: “Pre Warm-up Exercising Program” (30 mins) & “Managing Challenging Lies and Conditions”

We all know how important it is to warm-up before our golf game but do we really do it and do you know what exercises are the best ones? Well, prior to our clinic on Saturday May 7th Pritam Andreassen from Strength Connection will tell us. These low impact exercises are intended to functionally warm-up the body for a round of golf. Once we’re all warmed up Val Patrick will conduct a clinic on understanding the techniques for hitting from a variety of different lies and conditions between the tee and the green. Topics will include hitting from uphill, downhill, and side-hill lies, accessing lies in the rough and choosing the appropriate shot, club, and technique for playing in wet or windy conditions.
