With golf season well underway, there are many injuries that can occur from playing the game. The most common are the following:
- Lower back strain: rarely a first-time event, often related to pre-existing back problems
- Rotator cuff tear: often with pre-existing pathology present
- Fractured hook of hamate: related to hitting a large number of golf balls, or contacting the ground/mat repeatedly. This injury is more common in golf than in any other sport.
