If you haven't experienced low back pain yet, get ready. There is an 80 percent chance that you will, and the figure is even higher among golfers. A study at the University of Florida showed that 80 percent of low back pain patients had less pain after a few weeks of strength training. If your back doesn't get you, your joints probably will. Most of us will develop some degree of osteoarthritis, which has a direct effect on how you move and swing a club on the golf course.
Stronger muscles can help improve joint health and reduce pain.
Now you can't hide behind your age as an excuse for playing poorly. Do something about it. Not for us, but for yourselves.
