INTRODUCTION
Approximately 41 percent of golfers developed low back pain within the 6 months following competition. Movement screening was not effective in identifying elite golfers at risk of lower back pain. There is an importance in understanding the carry over between movement screen and a specific action, that is, a golf swing. Future research should investigate and research the subjects’ specific mechanical capacity to complete golf movement. Golf Vocab Places on the course: • Tee box : Where each hole starts, with two markers where the ball can be teed up • Fairway : Short grass where you want to keep the ball in play • Rough : Purposeful overgrowth; the deeper the rough, the more challenging • Bunker : A sand trap; you want to avoid this if possible • Green : The shortest grass and where the flag is where you will end the hole • Water : If you hit the ball into water, you must take a penalty stroke • Out of bounds : If ball goes out of bounds, you must take a penalty stroke Scoring • Hole in one (ace) • Double eagle (albatross) : Three strokes under par (e.g., get the ball in the whole in under two stroke if par for the hole is 5) • Eagle : Two strokes under par • Birdie : One stroke under par • Par : What scoring is based on; the recommended number of strokes the hole should be completed in • Bogey : One over par • Double bogey, triple bogey, quadruple bogey (aka snowman) • Stroke play : Type of scoring—count number of strokes you make in a round of 18 holes
