1. Always warm up. This can help loosen your muscles and prevent injury.
2. Use the right equipment. Clubs that are too short or too long can aggravate your back.
3. Wear soft spikes on your shoes. They provide cushioning for your back.
4. Use a pull cart. It's easier on your back.
5. Take lessons to learn proper techniques.
6. After a few holes, take a couple of practice swings the "wrong" way. – (HealthDayNews)
