Golf injuries aren’t just for pros, amateurs deal with them too. 🏌️‍♂️

Many come from overuse, poor swing mechanics, or hitting the ground incorrectly. Focusing on proper technique, mobility, and strength can keep your body healthy and your game consistent.

Don’t wait for pain to strike, prevention is always better than recovery. ✅

Ever finish 9 holes feeling like your back just gave out? 😩

You’re not alone, this is one of the most common complaints I see from golfers of all levels. Often, the pain isn’t from poor swing mechanics alone, it’s how your body compensates when your hips, core, or posture aren’t moving efficiently.

Limited rotation, weak core control, and fatigue can turn a fun round into an uncomfortable one.
Recognizing the problem is the first step toward fixing it, and playing stronger for the rest of your round.

Think golf is just a leisurely stroll? Think again! 🏌️‍♂️

Playing a hilly course without a cart can get you up to 50–85% of your maximum heart rate over ~2 hours of play. That’s serious cardio while doing something you love, walking the course, swinging your clubs, and enjoying the outdoors all at once.

Step up your game and your health this season! ⛳

Ever show up to the course and feel stiff for the first few holes? Chances are your warm-up isn’t doing you any favors.

Most golfers stick to static stretches or just hit a few balls, but that’s not enough. Your body actually needs dynamic movement first to fire everything up and get your swing feeling smooth.

Try this 5-minute pre-round routine next time:

1️⃣ Torso rotations with a club 🌀

2️⃣ Walking lunges with a reach 🏃‍♂️

3️⃣ Leg swings front & side 🦵
