Common Golf Injuries

By , About.com GuideAugust 28, 2012

Follow me on:

In general, professional golfers have more overuse injuries due to hours of practice, while amateurs are more likely to get injured from lack of conditioning, poor swing mechanics and improper club grip.

The most common golf injuries occur in the lower back, elbows, shoulders, hands and wrists and are generally defined as either cumulative (overuse) or acute (traumatic) injuries.
