Golf injuries are common, with over a third of female golfers experiencing them in the past year. Lower back strains are the most frequent golf injury, impacting performance and participation.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Epidemiology
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Golf injuries are often overlooked despite their frequency.
  • Understanding the specific injury patterns in female golfers is crucial for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the injury profile of female golfers.
  • To determine the types of injuries, body regions affected, and treatments sought.
  • To assess the impact of injuries on golf performance and participation.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire-based study was conducted.
  • 522 female golfers from the Victorian Women's Pennant Competition participated.
  • Data collected included injury history, body region, injury type, treatment, and impact on performance.

Main Results:

  • 35.2% of golfers reported injuries in the previous 12 months.
  • Lower back strains were the most common injury (67.9%).
  • Injuries significantly impacted performance (78.9%) and led to missed games/practice (69.7%).

Conclusions:

  • Golfing injuries are prevalent and significantly affect female golfers' performance and participation.
  • Lower back strains are a key area for injury prevention strategies, such as warm-ups.
  • Epidemiological studies on golf injuries should include allied health professional data for a comprehensive overview.
