Balance and Ankle Exercises

SINGLE LEG BALANCE

Start with upright and then move to golf posture. Lift one leg. Try to balance first with eyes open, then try eyes closed. Repeat on other side. Work up to 15-20 seconds.

STORK TURNS

Stand on one leg and cross arms over the chest. Hook one leg around the back of the knee of the down leg for support. Try to rotate the pelvis and hips back and forth for up to 25 seconds without moving the upper body. Repeat on other side.

KNEELING CALF STRETCH

This stretch helps with balance and flexibility of the calves. Flexible muscles helps maintain posture throughout the swing. Make sure flexibility is equal on both lower legs. A variation of this stretch can be done standing and leaning against a wall with leg straight.
