Minnesota Golfer - Summer 2019 - 9

TIPS FROM THE PROS
" Finish tall and avoid
a backward bend. "
Stand Up
Against
Back Pain
Better swing
posture can relieve
pressure on your
lower back and
extend your golf life.
I
t's common knowledge that golfers
and their lower backs don't get
along. If you've ever experienced pain
and discomfort in that area, you know
what I mean. Lower back pain is a
career-ender for some; for others, such
as Tiger Woods, it's a long process of
multiple surgeries and rehabilitation.
There are many possible causes of
lower back issues, but let's make sure
your golf swing isn't one of them. It all
starts with good posture. We're taught
to lift from the legs when hoisting
something heavy. Get that sensation in
your setup. Finish tall and avoid a backward
bend, or " reverse C " swing. Take as
much pressure as possible off the lower
back, and you can enjoy this game for a
long time.
AVOID THE
" REVERSE C "
