abstract="Golf-related injuries are reported for 300 patients attending emergency departments of south-east Queensland hospitals over a six and a half year period. The main mechanisms of golf-related injury were being hit by a club (37%), hit by a ball (28%), sprains/strains (9.67%) and slips/falls (7%). For adult players, the main source of injury was being hit by a ball, while for children and adolescents being struck by a golf club accounted for 77 percent of hospital presentations. In the total study group, 46 people (15%) were admitted to hospital following their presentation at the emergency departments. Injury prevention and player education strategies are suggested as a means of reducing injuries in this popular sport.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
