It seems to me that the human spine was not designed for golfing. Cavemen didn't play golf, golf has come about sometime in the early 1400s.
Could be that the human spine has not had time to adapt.
I had an L4L5S1 fusion in 1969. Took up golf in 2012. I'm not a very good player but I think it helps keep me a little more limber and my doc has not discouraged me from playing. I think it is a matter of individual ability and interest.

What do you think?
