Slow play on the golf course is golf’s biggest threat. So how long should it take your foursome to play a round of golf? The Hammond Creek Golf Club tracked average playing time of golfers by month for over two years. The average time for a foursome at that course was four hours and eleven seconds. That’s about the average time at most courses. But many rounds still take as long as six hours to play. That’s way too long.
Slow play sucks the joy out of the game. It also hurts scores. In fact, no research shows that slow play improves scores. It probably does the opposite. Playing faster, on the other hand, speeds up the round, allows you to enjoy the game more, and helps you achieve and maintain a nice rhythm, which improves golf scores—and to some degree golf handicaps.

If you’re like many golfers, you hit the practice range before playing a round. Hitting the range is great. You can focus on riding yourself of swing flaws, find a groove for your round, and build muscle memory and confidence in the process.

On the second tee, you pull it right into a bunker, leaving you with another bad lie. Clearly, you’ve lost the feel of your range swing. And you’re starting to lose confidence it your game. Before long, the wheels come off and what could have been a great day turns into a nightmare.
If only you could transfer your range swing to the course.

Do you suffer from lower back pain? If so, you’re not alone. Lower back pain is a common golf injury. In fact, 28.1 percent of all players suffer from lower back pain, says a recent report from TPI, which surveyed over 31,000 players. It’s also among the most common injuries pro golfers suffer. One report says about 23 percent of golfers deal with lower back pain.
But while your lower back is the site of the pain, it’s not usually the cause of it. Unusual motions in other parts of the body force the lower back to work excessively hard, creating pain. Often, it’s the lack of mobility in hips, thoracic spine, and shoulders that are the cause of the unusual motion. These moving parts working against each other can cause improper swing mechanics – which puts strain on the lower back.
