This is why I don't hand out random warm-up routines.

Golf performance coach Justin Langhill explains the core purpose of a structured pre-round warm-up routine. Rather than following random physical trends, Langhill advocates for targeted exercises that prepare the body to rotate, stabilize, and produce force efficiently on the course.

• Select warm-up movements that solve specific biomechanical challenges in your golf swing.
• Prepare your body for the three key demands of the swing: rotation, stability, and force production.
• Activating muscles prior to playing significantly increases their engagement during your round.
• Improve swing consistency by preparing smarter rather than simply trying to swing harder.
