Low back pain is the most common injury we see in golfers.  It is estimated that more than half of you reading this article will have experienced low back pain that has affected your performance at some point this season. And at least 50% of you have missed 3-6 weeks of participation because of the pain.  That is a big deal!  The most common cause for low back pain in Tour Pros is overuse.  I doubt too many of you are hitting more balls than Touring Pros.  The most common cause of LBP in amateurs is mechanics.  So here’s the best part, low back pain is very preventable!

One of our core beliefs at Miami Valley Golf is believing that every child deserves access to the life changing opportunities that our game can provide regardless of socioeconomic status.  

With that in mind, in 2018, we teamed up with Youth on Course to bring this national program to our Miami Valley area.  

Youth on Course members can play at participating courses for $5 or less during allotted times, after paying a small membership fee which is also $5. 

Our foundation (Miami Valley Golf Foundation) supports this program locally by supplementing the difference in green fees to the participating facility.  

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic we will need additional assistance as some of our opportunity for fund raising will not be available.  If possible, we encourage you to support this program.  

• When your score can’t be verified by another person
• While being coached on the course
• When you play using non-conforming clubs, non-conforming balls, or non-conforming tees;
• When you don't play the required number of holes, Less than 6 for 9, less than 14 for 18.  For the holes you haven’t played, you post net par for the hole.
• And when you are not playing your own ball — scrambles, shambles or foursomes (alternate shot).

And remember...A key tenet of the World Handicap System is that it is based on the fact that a you will try to make the best score at every hole in every round. 

So you post just about everything and that includes scores when you play Preferred Lies or adapting to modified Holes due to the Coronavirus !
