Avoiding Golf Injuries

February 28, 2010

How do you avoid golf injury? One of the best ways to avoid golf injury is with fitness, proper swing and grip. The reason why professional golfers get overuse injuries is because they take hours of practice while the ordinary golfer is most likely to get injured because of lack of conditioning, improper club grip and poor swing mechanism. Golf injuries in most cases are caused by overuse, duffs or mis-hits (this is when a player hit the ground as he swings), poor swing mechanisms, improper golf club handling, twisting your spine as you swing and skipping the initial warm ups before you start to play.
In order to prevent golf injuries, you need to teach yourself the following;
• Proper club grip and swing techniques
• Proper equipment
• Proper conditioning
The reason why a person get hurt while swinging is because the lumbar spine undergoes some forces which include rotation and compression.
