I can relate an golfing injury I am working my way through at the present time. Funny part is I didn't even have a club in my hand at the time. My73 year old brother and I were golfing. We were sitting in our cart, and were parked on the cart path. My 40 year old nephew was crusising at full speed in his cart, looking for his ball, and crashed into the back of our cart. My brother received a neck whiplash, and I received an injury to my lower middle back from the impact. The impact was so strong that my nephew's cart received extensive damage to it's front end, which require some explaining to the golf course folks. My brother's neck injury was helped along since he had his hands on the steering wheel. My back was injured because my whole upper torso snapped backwards since I was not holding on to anything. My injury is located on my back where the top edge of back rest cushion is located. My brother's injury is the more serious, and due to his age he will prpbably never fully recover from it. My injury is getting better with time, and exercise, since it was more of muscle issue. I also have to take more time to stretch, and warm up prior to full swings. This all happened in April. As for swinging a club, I have no back pain till a few hours after, or the next morning after a round of golf. Now I do feel the problem sometimes if I swing too hard and take too much of a divot. Also if I am not properly warmed/losened up, I will tend to hit snap hooks since I am swinging more with my arms to protect a some what stiff back. FHs
