As we are on the verge of summer, more and more people are hitting the range and golf courses. Now being overzealous and taking huge wacks at the ball are normal. However, slow and steady really is a good policy.
In my practice, I notice that many people who "throw out their backs" tell me the position that got them in trouble was bending over, with a little turn. Ok interesting, because isn't that the very position that golfers find themselves in when they are hitting the ball?? In short, yes it is. So what's the moral of the story. First, stretch before you start hitting balls. A few minutes of preparing the body can save you so much pain later. Secondly, as a golfer myself, I'm a big believer in starting out slow first. Develop a rhythm you can re-produce. Then, you can gradually add more speed.
Too many golfers (mainly the guys), go out there and try to hit 250 yards right off the bat. However, unless your name begins with Tiger and ends in Woods, this is probably a recipe for disaster. So take it slow. You've got 18 holes to play, so why not start it off right and get better as you go along?
