Six helpful tips golfers can use to prevent injuries

Mobility can be a great place to start in your training.

As most of the country is beginning to defrost after a long winter, your body may not be used to playing long rounds of golf or even practicing.

In preparation to swinging a club in the cold weather, many golfers fail to properly warm-up for a range session or their round and that can be a recipe for injury.

Common injuries among golfers affect the back, knees, wrists, shoulders and more. The back is not designed to rotate for a golf swing, so mobility can be a great place to start in your training.
