What Is Golfing Fatigue And The Cause For Lower Back Pain?
March 30, 2011 by Parshooters · 6 Comments
As we are now entering into the early part of springtime here in the Northeast. Most of us golfers have played a few early rounds, and have felt the fatigue that comes with swinging the golf club after a long winter away from the golf game. Most golfers will feel some discomfort in various parts of their body. Amateur golfers, especially seniors will experience chronic lower back pain that will limit the amount of golf they can play in the beginning.
Fatigue often becomes a major foe for most golfers wanting to play. You may not realize it, but those errant tee shots, off target approach shots, doffed chip shots, and missed putts may not all be the result of just bad golf swing mechanics. They have a lot to do with the fact that the four plus hours swinging a golf club in the fresh outdoor air is wearing you down a lot. Execution becomes the main issue. We all know being off just a little bit on any golf shot can have definite negative consequences. When the body gets just a little tired, the potential for your playing performance to suffer increases as does the risk for injuries.
Any amount of fatigue will not bode well for swing efficiency and overall playing performance. All aspects of your golf game will be impacted from tee to green. Walking the golf course will obviously have more of an impact to the fatigue factor, but you still will challenge the body even when taking a golf cart. It adds up when you consider the amount of time on your feet walking up and down inclines, in and out of traps, around greens and tee boxes. Cart paths only on days when the golf course is wet, will only add to the total energy drain.

Advice For The Beginning Golfer. If you have decided you like this new game, but you really aren’t playing as well as you would like. Your friends are beating you by large margins and you would like to even the score. Then the only way to do this is too start spending on fancy $1300+ golf equipment. You know the new fancy square backed driver with the snazzy stripped shaft that all of the touring pros are using. The driver that is guaranteed to have you hitting 300 yard drives. Or, maybe you should buy the $200 wedge that Tiger or Phil uses, and that $200 putter would make anyone envious.
Wait just a minute! I’m sorry, now is not the time to run up more debt on the old credit card. Superior equipment will help an average, better than average or superior golfer. You don’t qualify! In order to justify top end and expensive golf equipment, you need to first have developed a consistent golf swing. Right now no two balls are going anywhere near each other from your golf swing. Do you really believe it is all of the clubs’ fault, and not you?
A good professional or golf shop employee will want to fit the clubs to your body and swing. Matching the clubs to a reliable trustworthy swing will allow the clubs to produce superior performance for that one golfer. Would you like to match the clubs to your shanked shot, fat shot, or flubbed shots ? Oh, and what putting stroke are we talking about here?

Any new golfer is like a kid in the candy store. Their very anxious to possess their own collection of golf clubs and accessories. However, it is very important to understand the basics of your golf swing mechanics, before buying the golf clubs that are best suited for your golf swing. Usually a set of 14 golf clubs is permitted for each golfer under U.S.G.A. rules. This set comprises of a variety of irons, woods, wedges, hybrids and a putter. You can create your own set by adding and dropping clubs that best fits you. Hybrids are a good choice for beginners as they are a mixture of irons and woods, and hence easier and lighter to hit.
With today’s economic conditions and not knowing if you’ll even have a job the next day. Most people will buy off the rack standard clubs. It won’t improve their golf game one iota and they don’t care. They believe what’s the difference! Their not there to improve upon their golf swing mechanics. Your there instead to have fun being with others you care about playing with, and enjoying the great outdoors.
For a beginner having a full set that isn’t necessary. Most of the golfers playing with used or racked clubs are just beginning to play and don’t need expensive golf clubs. Depending upon your budget, you can choose either, pre-owned clubs or new. Buying cheap or discounted golf clubs can be a very good choice for starters. Next get yourself a dozen golf balls. They don’t have to be expensive brands like Callaway, Nike, Taylormade or Titleist. Using golf brands like Bridgestone, Slazenger, Srixion and TopFlite will cost 1/4 the price then the leading brands. Golf bags don’t have to be expensive either. You can find them at garage sales or flee markets. If you buy them in a store, you don’t need oversized compartment bags that have 10 different storage areas.

I started playing golf when I was 12 years old. I lived not to far away from a public golf course, and could easily ride my bicycle with my golf bag strapped to my back to the course. At that time they had a junior golf program that provided a .50 cent pass/round to play unlimited amount of golf.
It provided the opportunity for me to play just about everyday from dawn to dusk. I couldn’t get enough of it, as my passion grew deeply. I would eat, sleep and dream golf. Besides playing I was able to take golfing lessons from the club pro, and during the winter would go to the Y.M.C.A. with my dad and hit golf balls into a hitting net. While here picked up a few more golf lessons.
As a beginner your interested in spending some time with family or friends out on the golf course. However, your not sure of yourself, because picking up a golf club is very foreign to you. Not only your not sure how to hold onto a golf club, but what do you do with it? At this earliest stage of discovery, would you even know how to swing a golf club?
