t’s a very common question when I speak to golfers. Interestingly, it varies from amateurs to professionals, according to a recent study by the European Tour.

Most common injuries in amateurs:

  • 1st – Lower Back
  • 2nd – Elbow/ forearm
  • 3rd – Shoulder

Most common injuries in professionals:

  • 1st – Lower back
  • 2nd – Wrist and Hand

Obviously, I see a lot of golfers who injure other areas like the hip, knee, feet, neck and mid back too.
