Probably no golfer was more fit than Tiger Woods and he has back issues and leg issues. Experts of the game (including Jack Nickalas) believe that the length of golf courses and the lively golf ball may have something to do with the injuries plaguing professional golfers today.

No doubt there appears to be more and more injuries even though today's professional is more fit than those of previous years.

There are ways to swing the golf club that will better protect a golfer but you won't be driving the ball 300 plus yards and that could seriously make you less competitive.

We have not heard the last of these issues.
