Playing golf can be injury free with the right mechanics of your golf swing and the below tips:
- Don’t swing too hard or fast – or else you may stress your joints
- Stay smooth with your swing – do not depend on one part of your body but the force must come from all the muscle groups starting from your ankles to your wrists
