Tips to prevent golf injury
Beyond the excitement of buying new golf equipment, electronics or apparel or reading up on the latest golf tips or golf instruction, it is critical to also spend time getting your body fit to help prevent golf injury when you play or practice the game of golf.
So here is a quick golf guide that goes beyond golf shot instruction or golf product recommendations to help you stay golf injury free.
First off, you should realize which parts of the body are used the most during the golf swing and ensure that, at a minimum, you have performed the proper golf stretching and pre-round routines necessary to avoid getting a golf injury. Potential golf injury prone areas include the shoulders, hips, wrists, elbows, knees and of course, the lower back.
Second, you should ALWAYS perform the proper golf stretches for these body parts before every round or practice session to avoid golf injury. Here are a few “go-to” golf stretches we recommend:
- Wrist and forearm stretch – Extend right arm and pull back fingers with left hand – hold for 10 seconds. Point right hand fingers down and pull with left hand – hold for 10 seconds. Repeat stretch with left forearm and wrist.
- Shoulder and neck stretch – Pull right arm across chest to stretch right shoulder. Rotate head to right to stretch neck and hold for 10 seconds. Repeat with left shoulder.
- Back Stretch – Stand with shoulder width stance and place both hands on end of club. Lean forward while keeping back flat until stretch is felt in shoulders and upper back. Hold 10 seconds and relax. Repeat 3 times.
- Hip and Lower Back Stretch – Sit on chair, cart or bench. Place right ankle on left thigh. Push down on right knee with right forearm. Lean forward and feel stretch in right hip. Repeat stretch for left hip.
Third, you should incorporate golf fitness exercises into your regular golf training and golf practice routines to further avoid golf injury. Make sure you do regular cardiovascular exercise including walking, treadmill, biking and/or running. When you play the game, walk the golf course or use a golf pull cart. Doing so will not only save you a lot of money, but will burn hundreds of calories in the process and keep your “golf muscles” loose, further preventing golf injury.
Consult with your local gym trainer who can recommend specific golf exercises tailored for the golf game. Do these exercises to reinforce your golf swing mechanics, increase your core power and keep golf injuries from creeping into your game.
