THE HISTORY
The RBC Canadian Open makes its earliest start in history, having been sandwiched between the Open Championship and a WGC for the past 12 years, a slot that has often limited the calibre of the field.
However, the majority of golfer’s complete inadequate warm-ups – either focusing on static stretches which have been shown to decrease club-head speed and driving distance as well as lowering shot quality – or do not implement one at all.
The below image demonstrates the difference between driving distances of a golfer who did not undertake a warm-up, undertook a dynamic stretching based warm-up and undertook a resistance band-based warm-up. Notably there was a six-yard difference in driving distance between no warm-up and a resistance-based warm-up which was due to greater clubhead speed and an increase in carry distance.
