Golf Injuries

Golfers: Play pain free and improve your game!

• The most common golf injury is low back sprain. You can reduce the risk of sprain by doing conditioning exercises that include abdominal crunches or partial sit-ups. Do chest stretches, toe-touching and straight leg raises to keep the lower back limber.

• Arrive 15 to 20 minutes early and take a brisk walk around the course to warm-up. Stretch by holding a golf club in two hands above your head and reaching down to touch the tops of your shoes. Then hold the club behind your back and try to rotate slowly in one direction, then the other. Take a few swings on the practice tee to fully loosen your back and shoulders before playing.
