Follow these tips to lifting, carrying and using your golf bag correctly, and keep your back pain-free:
Avoid carrying your golf bag where possible. Invest in a trolley and pull it instead.
When lifting your golf bag in and out of the car keep your back straight and bend your knees.
Bend your knees to pick up your golf bag after playing a shot, even if it's on a stand
Choose a golf bag with a double strap and make sure the weight is evenly distributed when you carry it
Get fit for golf and focus on your core muscles, which will help support your back
Keep a good posture as you walk around the course. Tighten your stomach muscles when you're carrying your golf bag for extra back support
