| In this week’s tip Brad Brewer teaches the proper way to putt utilizing the pendulum action of the putter. He also refers to the freedom necessary in the shoulders to properly execute this type of putting stroke. A golfer cannot have a smooth, consistent putting stroke with tension and a lack of mobility in the shoulders. The putting stroke is initiated first from the oblique abdominals or core and is immediately followed by the shoulders, specifically the thoracic spine. The thoracic spine is the area in the upper back, where many golfers experience a rounding in their back or “slumped” shoulders. Fitness tip: Begin on all fours, elbow place behind your head. Inhale twisting from the thoracic spine towards the ceiling. | ||

| Exhale and tuck your right shoulder under your left shoulder. Repeat five times and hold for five more breaths. | ||
