Lack of fitness and flexibility contributes to most golf injuries. Most injuries occur in the back, shoulders and wrist.
During the typical golf swing, the low back under goes a variety of forces including compression and rotation. You can reduce this stress and prevent back injuries by stretching and strengthening your spine.
Here are a few of my tips to help you prevent a golf injury.
1. Spend a little time at home everyday swinging with out a golf club. Going through the golf swing mechanics can help stretch and coordinate muscles to work together.
2. Warm up and stretch your muscles before a round of golf. A good stretch will go a long way toward preventing injuries.
3. Learn to swing the club properly. A proper mechanical golf swing will cut down your chances of injury.
4. Use the right clubs. Having too long or short of clubs can cause an injury. See a golf pro for proper club fitting.
5. Have fun.
