Golf and the Body: Flexibility, Posture, and Back Health

Golf and the Body: Flexibility, Posture, and Back Health is a free, self-paced learning path in Medicine & Health Sciences, written at General Public / 9th Grade reading level. Across 15 structured stations, you will work through the core ideas step by step, each with a short quiz to check your understanding. By the end you will be able to identify primary muscle groups involved in golf; explain basic spinal alignment during physical activity; assess personal flexibility requirements for golf.
