I've been playing golf now for about 4 years, but recently (more in the past year) I've been feeling slight arm, shoulder and back pain when swinging.
Now I'm still (fairly) young (I'm just turned 28), and I've played sports most of my life. I'm not that flexible which may be down to the cause, but I've been to the pro and had my swing analysed and (not to blow smoke up my backside) he has said that my natural swing bar a few minor flaws is very very good. It shouldn’t be doing anything 'too' distressing to my body to cause damage.
Now I am wondering if and what any exercises people do to A: strengthen / flex the specific muscles used for the golf swing in your arms and back and B: what do people to do warm up before the range / going on a round?
I'm getting tired now of my ever improving game stalling a bit because I'm feeling aches etc when swinging. I look at the guys that are really good at this game and their swings look almost effortless, and whist I am doing ok at golf I would like it to become less of a strain if possible (it’s hard to explain, mainly because I am crap at explaining things properly!)
I'd like to possible find some exercises that I can do when at home / at the gym which will give me more strength and control over swinging the club.
Thanks
