Calf Stretch

Pretend you are a sword fighter about to thrust at your opponent. Stand with your right foot about eighteen inches in front of your left foot. Keep your left heel on the ground as you lean forward, flexing your right knee as you go. You will feel a stretch in your left calf muscles. Repeat for the right side. If necessary, you can hold on to the golf cart or a tree for balance as you lean forward.
