Golf and the Foot

  Staff        September 20, 2013

The foot is really important in golf. At first glance it may not seem so, but can the foot carry someone through 18 holes of golf or not? There are a large number of different foot problems that can either be caused by the volume of activity needed to play a round of golf or the presence of the foot problem can inhibit the golf. The golf swing or biomechanics is also an extremely precise and complicated action that professional golfers spend years perfecting. Its not hard to imagine how, even a minor foot problem is going to interfere with that precise motion and impact on that precision. Golfers do need to make sure they have the right type of footwear that suits their playing style. Any problems should be checked by a podiatrist.
