I could (and probably will) write a complete article on this physical limitation. This is a BIGGY! How many times have you seen the golfer (maybe even you) in his/her golf stance with the dread 'camels back?' This is very common among older golfers and is a KILLER in the golf swing.

The lower back is getting tired because it is neither strong enough nor does it have enough endurance within its muscles to support the activities you perform on a daily basis. The combination of strengthening the lower back and creating more endurance within these muscles creates the highest probability of the lower back staying healthy for all activities. Strength can be defined as having enough force production with your muscles to perform a certain activity, and endurance is having enough energy in those muscles to do an activity over and over again. When I say stress, I am talking about the muscles of your lower back working to support your body in a specific position.

What Do the Core and the Golf Swing Have in Common?
The core is includes all the muscles from below the chest to the hips. Separated out into body parts the core includes all muscles of. These muscles groups essentially comprise the core region and are involved in the majority of movement elicited by the core. Balance can be defined as the amount of stability within the body during a movement. The greatest amount of balance by the body can be achieved if it maintains a center of gravity around the middle line of support.

A Good Swing Starts with a Strong Base of Support
The hip abductors (muscles that move the legs away from the center of the body) along with their opposing adductors (muscles that move the legs toward the center of the body) work to stabilize the pelvis during lateral movement. Aside from the already mentioned hip flexors and lumbar extensors other areas commonly tight among golfers include the muscles of the hamstrings, neck, scapular elevators (upper trapezius and levator scapulae) and shoulder internal rotators. As a result the muscles of the abdominal wall lengthen and weaken while the muscles of the lumbar spine get short and tight. Now we compound the issue repeatedly forcing our spinal muscles to do the job of our hip extensors to power through the swing. This makes sense since muscles of the hip and pelvis play a major role in stabilizing the trunk and transferring forces from the lower body through the upper body and arms during the golf swing.
