Golf teacher Jordan Fuller shares his tips on preventing back pain or injury. 

• Even though it doesn't seem like it, golf is a very physically demanding sport.
• Most golf teachers never teach how to properly stretch and avoid future injuries, including chronic back pain.
• Even more important, the right process to cool down is never taught and will lead to back pain days thereafter.
• It's not that hard: simple exercises can put your body in the best position possible to practice golf without injuries.
• PGA golfers all stretch and cool down before and after every game.
