The Masters are over and they’ve left everyone with the desire to head out to the golf course to try to attempt the amazing shots made during the tournament. Golf is a great sport. Most people consider it a relatively safe sport considering the lack of contact involved with other players, objects and the ground. However, golf does have its list of common golf related injuries associated with it. There are some not-so-common injuries as well. Did you hear about golfer Tony Finau?
