GOLFING INJURIES
Golf is one of the few sports that crosses the age-boundaries, and is increasingly popular among males and females. It is good exercise: a round of golf will get you walking four miles in the fresh air (or the pouring rain).
Unfortunately, swinging the clubs can cause stress to your physical frame when you hit the ball, just as it does to your psyche when you miss. The average golf pro sustains two injuries a year, missing five weeks of play.
The most common injuries involve back pain, or problems in the left-wrist and shoulder. For pros many injuries are brought on through overuse. For amateurs it is often down to poor technique (sorry, but we have to be honest!) or lack of fitness.

Back pain
80% of golfers suffer back pain in the lower-back at some time in their life. Among pros, it is an unfortunate side-effect of the body coiling round as the player goes for maximum club-head acceleration in the swing. Among amateurs it is the old story of technique and/or fitness.
Golfer's elbow
Among amateurs one of the most common problems is 'Golfer's elbow', similar to tennis elbow, except that it affects the inside of the joint. It is a form of tendonitis, affecting the muscles on the inner forearm that connect to the humerus in the upper arm, and also control the bending of the wrist. Golfer's elblow causes pain and tenderness which may last for several months. Common forms of treatment include rest, ice packs, massage, exercise to strengthen wrist/forearm muscles, or wearing a forearm strap. You could also benefit from getting a golf pro to review your swing, which may have too much wrist movement.
