Improved Golf Swing Mechanics May Equal Fewer Injuries
Jan 17, 2011

Every golfer has done it. They’ve tried to make up for a bad tee-ball by hitting the green with a miracle shot from deep rough. Most everyone has also endured the sudden, intense wrist pain caused by an unnaturally hard and fast swing that catches too much grass and turf, and too little ball.
While that’s an extreme, but all too common, example, it is illustrative of how golf wrist injury occur on the golf course. Even tee-shots and balls hit from the fairway, if combined with certain abnormalities in the golf swing, can cause unnecessary injury. According to Dr. Wiliam J. Bryan, orthopedic surgeon with the Methodist Center for Sports Medicine in Houston, Texas, a few changes in the golf swing can significantly reduce a golfer’s chance for painful wrist injury.
One of the easiest of Dr. Bryan’s suggestions to implement is slowing down the back swing, which will lessen the whip on the wrist. Also, flattening the back swing has advantages. According to Dr. Bryan, “This will decrease the chances that the club will come down, hit the ground and take a big divot.” Reducing the impact that sometimes comes with a deep divot will, of course, lessen the trauma to the wrist. Normal divots, and even deep ones, shouldn’t normally cause immediate injury. Repeated significant impact, as with a deep divot, can cause wrist injuries normally associated with overuse, such as tendonitis, in the lead hand primarily.
Another suggested change is keeping the hands in parallel alignment. “The alignment of your hands can also contribute to wrist pain. Whether you use the overlapping, interlocking, or the ten-fingered grip, it’s imperative that both hands be in parallel alignment,” says Dr. Bryan, a PGA consulting physician. Without such alignment, the wrist will be prevented from achieving their natural motion, which may contribute to injury.
Changes in equipment can also ease injury. Bryan recommends switching from steel-shafted clubs to graphite, which decreases the weight of the club and thereby lessens the stress on the wrists during the swing. Also recommended is thicker grips, which will help alleviate the pain associated with tendonitis and arthritis.
Although the two don’t seem to be related, developing a strong core can reduce wrist injury. Dr. Bryan states that a weak core will cause a golfer to use the wrists to throw the club at the ball without much ... | |

That’s the assessment of Dr. David Menche, a New York City-based orthopedic surgeon and president and chief executive officer of Metro SportsMed, as he contemplates what Tiger Woods did to win the 2008 U.S. Open.
“For him to even play with a double stress fracture of his left tibia as well with a torn knee ligament and two months after surgery to clean out cartilage in his left knee is unbelievable,” Menche says. “But to win the Open after 91 holes of play in that condition is almost indescribable. To compete at that level and with that focus, knowing that he had those injuries and knowing that he was in pain, makes this a remarkable victory and an extraordinary feat for an athlete.”
Everyone who follows golf knew Tiger was coming into this year’s national championship with some physical questions. After all, his knee had been “scoped” on April 15, and he hadn’t even walked a full 18 holes since the Masters before he played his first round at Torrey Pines in Southern California. But only a very few insiders were aware that he was also playing the second leg of the golfing Grand Slam with a torn ACL as well as that double stress fracture, which is reported to have happened during his pre-Open rehab. And that makes his victory in the 19-hole playoff on June 16 even more amazing.
What’s equally astounding is that Tiger is suddenly gone from the PGA Tour , set to have season-ending surgery on his troubled left knee – and set to have plenty of down time to let that, and his stress fracture, heal.
“Normally, there would be a good six months for someone to recover from that surgery,” explains Dr. Menche. “First you need to rest, and then alleviate the pain and swelling. The next step is getting range of motion back, and then your strength. Once that is done, it is time to go with the sports specific treatments to get ready for golf.”
