The negative compounded impact of carrying a golf bag is greatly underestimated.
To stop trying to strap a 16kg bag for 9 or 18 holes on your back (and continuously taking it on and off) is one of the most intelligent things a golfer can do to ensure durability, longevity, and optimal game performance.
We know why golfinjuries occur,
yet recreational golfers will tease a player if they use a trolley.
We know how overuse golfinjuries occur,
yet some teachers still disapprove of a player if they have a long and thorough dynamic movement warmup.
You don't see professionals joking around.
This only happens in a recreational golf environment, where the warm up and using a trolley are really the dynamic duo of preventative & performance strategies.
The game of golf is pretty challenging.
It's a beautiful game too.
Let's not make things even more complicated.
That's why this simple and easily applicable strategy is so beneficial and efficient!
Why golfers should never carry a golf bag:
It increases risks of overuse injuries & tightness, especially around the lower back & shoulder area, therefore reducing one's joy in the game of golf.
it greatly decreases explosiveness & thoracic rotation in the swing, therefore inhibiting rotational capacity.
It massively depletes energy and concentration.
To me, you're all nothing but a winner when you take care of this dynamic duo strategy!!
