Head-to-Toe Stretches for Your Golf Warmup

From Larry Foster, M.D. ("Dr. Divot's Guide to Golf Injuries")

Forearm and Wrist Stretches

Wrist and Forearm Stretches

Hold your left arm out in front of you with your elbow locked straight. Now take your right hand and bend (flex) your left wrist and hand as far down as they will go and hold (remember to keep your elbow straight). Now repeat the stretch but this time turn your left palm up and use your right hand to extend the left wrist as far as they will go. Repeat for the right side. This exercise loosens the wrists and also prevents tennis elbow and golfer's elbow so don't skimp here.
