What Causes Golf Back Pain?

by: Mike Pedersen

Why it that back pain is such a common complaint in golf and amongst golf players on any course? Does golf back pain have something to do with the game or do most players bring back pains acquired elsewhere into the game? While it is true that there are golfers who started having back pains and related problems long before they set foot on the course, there is clear evidence that golf does cause back pain, especially to those who do not exercise and condition their bodies for the game.
