Golf may put you at risk for a back injury
There was some talk about Tiger Woods having a back problem and I heard a doctor talking about it on the news. He said it's not that uncommon for golfers to injure their back because the golf swing is not natural. I think he means it twists the back in ways that are unnatural. Throughout most of history, man did not swing a golf club, so we are not designed for it.
It doesn't mean that everyone will get a back injury from playing golf. It just means you will raise your risk for getting a back injury. And I assume the risk increases as we age.
