Abstract
Golf is, by comparison to other sports, a relatively moderate-risk activity. However, while there are more data available on injury epidemiology in the amateur game, high quality evidence from professional golf is lacking, with a recent systematic review of musculoskeletal injuries in professional golf concluding that there is a paucity of high-quality literature available. In a departure from the format of other chapters in this book, to gain insight and an applied viewpoint of injuries in golf, this section focuses on the perspectives and experiences of a member of the medical staff on the European and Challenge Tours. Poora Singh is the Lead Therapist for the PGA European Challenge Tour and provides support for the European Tour Performance Institute. Great activation for your glutes, activation from your calves gets you a little bit warm. It’s a really easily achievable thing. Chuck it in the golf bag.
