Golf is becoming an increasingly available and popular sport. It is played by people of all ages and abilities, which accounts for a wide spectrum of injury. Few reports of injuries exist, but increasing media attention of the golfing injuries of professional players has raised the profile of these medical conditions. Numerically, the vast majority of problems occur from soft tissue musculoskeletal injuries rising principally from overuse. The injury pattern seen is influenced by the age, ability and amount of play. Anatomically, most injuries are localised to the back, wrist, elbow and shoulder. In addition to causing new injuries the game may cause recrudescence of old injuries and exacerbate pre-existing degenerative disease. A different injury pattern is seen among elite players compared with recreational players, and this relates to skill and amount of practice. Appropriate conditioning and attention to technique may help to reduce the incidence of injury. There are no injuries exclusive to golf, however fracture of the hamate bone is an uncommon injury seen in sports involving the use of a club or bat. The high number of childhood golf-related head injuries is disturbing. Most of these arise from blows to the head from a golf club and highlight the need for early tuition in the safety aspects of the game.
高尔夫运动正变得越来越普及且受欢迎。各个年龄段和能力水平的人都参与这项运动，这导致了各种各样的损伤。关于高尔夫运动损伤的报道较少，但媒体对职业球员高尔夫运动损伤的关注度不断提高，使得这些伤病情况日益受到关注。从数量上看，绝大多数问题是软组织肌肉骨骼损伤，主要是由过度使用引起的。所观察到的损伤模式受年龄、能力和打球量的影响。从解剖学角度来看，大多数损伤集中在背部、手腕、肘部和肩部。除了造成新的损伤外，这项运动还可能导致旧伤复发，并使已有的退行性疾病恶化。与业余球员相比，精英球员呈现出不同的损伤模式，这与技能和练习量有关。适当的体能训练和对技术的关注可能有助于降低受伤发生率。高尔夫运动没有特有的损伤，不过，钩骨骨折是在涉及使用球杆或球拍的运动中出现的一种罕见损伤。儿童与高尔夫相关的头部损伤数量之多令人不安。其中大多数是由高尔夫球杆击中头部造成的，这凸显了尽早教授这项运动安全知识的必要性。
