My first back surgeon and neurologist told me once that golfing is the single worst thing anyone can do for their back. The torque and twisting motion of the swing just tears it up. He did a lot of surgeries on golfers for that reason.
If you like your back; don’t golf. I asked him if he golfed. He said he did until he realized what it was doing to him. Putt Putt golf is still okay though.
All through my younger adult life I had back problems. Took up golf at 38 and haven’t had a problem since, in 20+ years
