Chances are you already know Peter Jacobsen from his seven PGA TOUR wins, two Champions Tour wins, and long TV analyst career, but what you might not know is that Peter played most of his career with severe back pain.  The fact is that back pain is common among many golfers.  The amount of rotational pressure and strain the golf swing places on a golfer's back is often enough to amplify even a minor back issue.

In this episode of The Golf Podcast hosts Frank & Mike talk with Peter Jacobsen about his decision to have "minimally invasive" back surgery and how it has helped him get back to the game he loves.  Then later in the show we'll talk with Laser Spine Institute surgeon Dr. Stefan Prada who tells us what golfers can to do help prevent back injuries and how to know when it's the right time to take the next step to corrective surgery.

In this Show You Will Learn:

How Peter Jacobsen played through back pain and when he knew it was the right time for surgery.

What preventative measures you can take to help reduce the chances of back injuries.

Why so many golfers struggle with back pain and what you can do to start feeling better today.

Plus much more.
