How to Prevent Back Pain After Golf
Golf can be played by 8-year-olds and 80-year-olds; that’s what makes the game of golf such a great pastime. Arnold Palmer was golfing right up until his death in September, and other pro players, like Jack Nicklaus, golfed professionally on their local golf courses well after retirement; and they played well! Unfortunately, the older you get, the more pain you may feel, and most complaints come from back pain after playing golf.
The Source of Your Back Pain
The back pain after golf that you are experiencing is a result of your swing. Lower back pain is the most common complaint, and as many as 23 percent of professional golfers complain of lower back pain after golf – you are not alone.
For the most part, your lower back is not considered the cause of the issue, but the source of the pain. The rest of your body is putting too much pressure on your lower back, which is causing stress.
How Is Your Swing Affecting Your Back?
If you experience back pain after golf, you are likely not maintaining the correct posture during your swing. Golf is exercise after all, and even though you are having fun, you are spending a full day exerting yourself.
The average golfers are swinging over 100 times during a round on their local golf course. If you are swinging wrong every time, it is going to affect your back.
How to Avoid Back Pain After Golf
The good news is that preventing back pain after golf will also improve your game dramatically. The issue is that you are bending and twisting your back too often when swinging. You can take lessons at your local golf course and have a pro correct you, or you can look at this great back guide from Golf Digest. The fact is, you need to straighten up your back through your swing.
You should also consider warming up and stretching before you arrive at the local golf course. There is no reason to feel pain after a great round of golf.

Olympic Golf Struggled to Get Traction Until Now
The new Olympic golf course currently under construction in Rio de Janiero is said to be magnificent and matches the tropical majesty of premiere South Florida golf courses. However, ever since it was announced that golf would be added to the 2016 Olympic tournaments, the nature regarding who would actually play has been uncertain.
It was not until Rory Mcllroy confirmed that he will compete in this year’s Olympics that many skeptics went silent. After Adam Scott, Louis Oosthuizen, Vijay Singh, and others confirmed that they were not going to attend, it was a miracle that a big name, pro golfer like Mcllroy actually agreed to compete. It might breathe a little bit of fire back into what was a waning Olympic golf tournament roster.
Although the inclusion of golf in the 2016 Olympics may have been a shock to some, the announcement was, of course, not met with outrage from golf pros. In fact, golf pros were thrilled at the chance to play their beloved sport in the Olympics, despite opposition from sports writers in the United States. The problem for golf pros instead, is that the 2016 Olympics poses time conflicts.
So far, the professional golfers that have dropped out of the 2016 Olympics in Brazil have credited their decision with one of the following reasons:
PGA Tour Schedule
The 2016 Olympic golf tournament is taking place right in the middle of one of the busiest PGA tour times of the year. The British Open, the U.S. Open, the Bridgestone Invitational, and the Greenbrier Classic are all scheduled around the same time as this year’s Olympic golf tournament; and unfortunately, these other events are far more important for golfers’ careers than the fairly unknown Olympic golf tournament.
The Zika Virus
This reason may hold less weight than the aforementioned, however, golfers know that mosquitoes find their way to the green no matter what the location may be, so since the Zika Virus is spread via mosquito, many golfers have decided to simply not take the risk.

What is a Mulligan on the Golf Course?
Ah, the most infamous of all unwritten rules on golf courses; Deerfield Beach golf courses are no exception to this unwritten law. The Mulligan is part of all golf lexicon. You can hear the phrase mentioned on all golf courses, on all continents, all over the world. It has become a part of golf culture everywhere and it’s not going away anytime soon. Let’s take a look at the term and learn something new about this great golf standard.
For the new golfers that need a quick explanation to their question of what is a Mulligan on the golf course – a Mulligan is a do-over. A shot you give your golfing buddy after he/she complains enough about an unsuccessful shot. Most golfing groups will have their own versions and takes on the rules of a Mulligan. Legend has it that the Mulligan got its name in the early 1930’s from an amateur golfer named David Bernard Mulligan. Apparently, Mr. Mulligan’s hands were still numb after a bumpy ride to the Canadian golf course before arriving to tee off. After an unsuccessful 1st tee, he did not miss a beat, he began setting up for another crack at teeing off. When his golfing comrades asked what he was doing he explained he deserved a do-over because his hands were numb.
That was the moment the Mulligan was born. All of Mr. Mulligan’s friends began referring to the do-over terms as a Mulligan. The rest is history and the term made its way all around the world, even to our Deer Creek Golf Course in Deerfield Beach.
