Although golf has not been recognized as a sport associated with injuries, epidemiologic studies document that back and elbow injuries are most common in male amateur golfers. Lower back and wrist injuries occur in the male golf professional while female professional golfers are more likely to suffer injuries to the wrist and lower back, respectively. The elbow, followed by the lower back, is the most likely area of injury associated with female amateur golfers. These injuries are related to overuse, poor conditioning, and improper swing mechanics. It is the hope of this author that more studies regarding the mechanics, prevention, and treatment of these injuries will be stimulated by this journal and others.
尽管高尔夫尚未被视为一项与受伤相关的运动，但流行病学研究表明，背部和肘部受伤在男性业余高尔夫球手中最为常见。男性职业高尔夫球手会出现下背部和手腕受伤，而女性职业高尔夫球手分别更容易在手腕和下背部受伤。肘部是女性业余高尔夫球手最容易受伤的部位，其次是下背部。这些损伤与过度使用、身体状况不佳以及不正确的挥杆动作有关。作者希望这本期刊和其他刊物能激发更多关于这些损伤的力学原理、预防和治疗的研究。
