I can't hit a ball more than 200 yards. I have no butt. You need a butt if you're going to hit a golf ball.
The golf swing is a violent swing. You twist, and your spine is under continual stress when you're making a golf swing. Your neck, your spine, your hands, your knees, everything.
Golf is flexibility, and I notice more guys injured. You can overdo this conditioning.
I carry a golf ball to put under my feet when they get tight, and a Thera-Band for general stretching.
That's one of the things you get when you're playing golf. You get bad backs, bad necks.
I have never been able to play consistently with soft hands.
There's a bunch of different ways to play the game of golf. You don't need to play it one way. It doesn't need to be one swing that's perfect out there.
