| Elbow stretches and instructions:
1) Wrist Extensor Stretch:
Keeping your elbow straight, use the opposite hand to gently bend wrist down.
2) Behind the Back Wrist Extensor Stretch:

3) Wrist Flexor Stretch:

General Stretching Instructions:
- Stretches should not induce pain. A stretching or pulling sensation is normal, but if you are experiencing pain, you are stretching too aggressively.
- Do not bounce. Do all stretches slowly and in a controlled fashion.
- Hold each stretch for 20 seconds.
- Do two to three repetitions of each stretch before and after golfing.
- Do each stretch on both the right and left sides when applicable.
In case of doubt about any exercise, always seek the advice of a qualified health professional
