Simple Swing Warmup

I conducted an outdoor lesson last Wednesday with a player that wanted the absolute bare bones minimum simplest swing warmup that I could think of for when he plays golf.

This particular student is pretty conscientious, so I asked him why he wanted the absolute bare bones minimum routine.

He replied that on his league nights, his current warmup consists of him running from his car to the first tee because his work hours run close to his league times.

Been there, done that, so his request made sense to me.

Here's what we came up with. Please keep in mind that I've pared this down to the absolute bare bones minimum for a swing warmup.

Simple Swing Warmup
  1. Hold your 6 iron and 7 irons together in your hands and swing them about 4 inches off the ground for a total of 12 long, full turn, continuous swings. 4 very slow, 4 medium, 4 medium fast. Make sure that minimal weight transfers to your rear side during the backswing, and that your weight does shift to the forward side on the down and through swing.

  2. Now take your driver, invert it and grip it on the shaft, near the clubhead as if you were going to hit a ball with the grip end of your club. Make 6 swings as fast as you can while maintaining good balance.
Sometimes simple is better.

Your body and brain are now prepared to swing a club, and your brain has been reminded to swing your driver with speed.

Personally, I make 2 or 3 fast driver swings with the club inverted on almost every hole where I'm hitting the driver to keep the swing speed feeling in my brain.

If you currently don't do anything like this before your round, try it - I really think you'll get some benefit from it.
