Dr Andrew Murray on golf and its effects on health - a podcast by BMJ Group

In this podcast, Steffan Griffin of the BJSM speaks to Dr Andrew Murray – SEM consultant&adventurer (amongst other things!), who is currently undertaking a PhD looking into ‘Golf and Health’. We talk about how the Golf and Health project was born, and some of the notable findings from his recently published scoping review. This is a must-listen for any SEM professional/student, not only due to some of the clinical pearls, but due to the fact that this is a shining light of what other sports could also be doing!
