[GOLF COMMUNITY]

Unlike soccer and baseball, golf is one of the few leisure
sports that people of all ages can play together. However,
for various reasons, it is a sport that is surprisingly prone
to injuries. If you do it wisely without being greedy in the
way described above, you can enjoy it for the rest of your
life without getting hurt.

이브리드(또는 유틸리티) 클럽은 요즘 대부분의 사람에게
하한두개쯤은 다 있는 클럽이 되었다. 요즘에는 풀세트에도
하이브리드 4, 5, 6, 7번 중에 한 두개쯤은 항상 포함되어 있다.
하이브리드는 아이언과 우드의 장점을 모은 클럽으로서 모양이

distance. If you are a bogey player, you can aim for the
fairway, cut it short and focus on the on-green approach
or putting. Since the length of the club is shorter than
the driver, the probability of a miss shot is relatively low.
Using a hybrid instead of a driver can also significantly
reduce the risk of back injuries caused by excessive force.
There are many benefits to using a hybrid instead of a 3-6
iron. In fact, the probability of miss-shots on long irons
3, 4, and 5 by amateurs is very high. Unlike the driving
range, when using a long iron, which is less tolerant in
an environment with irregular condition and poor aiming
on uneven grass, there are not many cases where it sits
exactly at the desired distance without shifting left and
right. In this case, if a hybrid is used instead, the desired
distance can be reached with relatively little force and
speed due to sufficient repulsion. In fact, those who have
used hybrids will swing more comfortably because of
their good experience with the hybrid, and get a more
stable shot with less stress on the shoulder and much less
chance of a miss. In this way, of course, the probability
of hitting the back is significantly reduced, and the
possibility of injuring the wrist or elbow is also timely
and comfortable, and you can enjoy golf.
I have emphasized several times that golf is a sport that
requires instantaneous strength, so it is an exercise that
inevitably puts strain on the spine or joints. In order to
minimize this problem, it is necessary to warm-up in
advance and cool-down after exercise when playing an
actual game or practicing. Since it takes a long time for
the heart rate or body temperature to rise in golf itself, it
is essential to prevent golf injuries by jogging or sweating
a little before golf practice or games.
