Most golf injuries are attributed to the overuse of muscles. One golf action has taken a toll on almost every golfer in the world, that is, golf classic swing action. The unnatural and unconventional coiling and release of body muscles during golf swing actions is a major reason for almost all injuries. Poor swing mechanics, lack of fitness and inadequate rest also factor in to make initial physical pain result into golf injuries.
Since it is noted that overworked muscles and repetitive strain are the main cause of common golf injuries, prevention techniques and golf exercise should be religiously followed to avoid the risk of long-term injuries. All golfers are advised to warm up and stretch the muscles appropriately before undergoing any kind of strenuous and long practice hours.
