As a pastime, it is hard to find another sport as popular as a leisurely game of golf. The American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine cites 12.98 million individuals are registered golfers with the National Golf Foundation across the country. With over 16,000 golfing facilities and an estimated $24.3 billion spent annually on lessons, apparel and associated expenses, golfers are some of the most avid sports enthusiasts in the United States.
Unfortunately, like any sport the risk of injury is inherent. With the average golfer playing 37 rounds each year, research has shown that in a two-year period, 40% of amateur players will suffer either a traumatic injury or an overuse injury from their game, while 60% of golf professionals will do the same.
Were you or a loved one hurt golfing because of negligence on the course or with a fellow player? If so, you could be entitled to compensation because of the pain, suffering, and financial hardship you incurred as a result of those injuries.
The legal team of Phillips Law Group understands the need for compassionate and intelligent representation for victims of golf course accidents. We will always fight for the MAXIMUM compensation amount due to our clients.

Did Negligence Cause My Golf Course Accident?
Although overuse injuries are a common occurrence on the golf course, it is possible to be harmed because of carelessness on the part of a fellow golfer or the management responsible for keeping the green safe and maintained.
A few examples of negligence that cause golfing injuries are:
- Golf club injury
- Golf ball injury
- Golf cart accidents
- Drunken driving
- Disregard for safety procedures
- Failure of lighting warning system
- Wildlife
- Improperly maintained landscape
- Golf cart vs. car collision
- Defective equipment
- Negligent golfers
- Slip-and-fall accident
- to name several.
The added danger of alcohol on the course heightens the likelihood of an accident occurring. Additionally, if an inexperienced golfer has a poor grip, their club could easily fly out their hands and injure a bystander or fellow golfer.
Injuries from Golf Accidents
Although rarely seen as a dangerous sport, golf injuries can be very severe under the right circumstances. Lighting, terrain, and inexperienced golfers all pose a risk on the course, and serious injury or even death can result from any number of incidences that can take place there.
Some of the most common injuries from golf accidents include:
- Blisters
- Bursitis
- Concussions
- Finger fractures
- Frozen shoulder
- Glenohumeral arthritis
- Golfers elbow
- Heat stroke
- Herniated discs
- Knee pain
- Lower back pain
- Muscle strains
- Plantar fasciitis
- Shoulder instability
- Sprains and strains
- Stress fractures
- Sun burn
- Tendonitis
- Tennis elbow
- Torn rotator cuff
- Trigger finger
- Wrist sprains
- Whiplash Injuries
Proper warm-up and cool-down routines should always be practiced to help prevent overuse injuries, though there is always the chance of another golfers negligence causing injury, which cannot be prevented. Report any issues with the maintenance of the golf course to the proper management official, if you are injured on the course, and contact a golfing accident injury lawyer for a review of your case.

Sophia H is a pleasure to work with! Thanks for all you do.

I tried a few previous law firms and none would take my car accident case with confidence they could get my anything. Phillips law group took my case and although it took around 4 years to get this case settled as I was in treatment, they never let up with insurance adjusters and they got me as much money as possible. They worked hard for me and advocated for me. Shoutout to key individuals who worked my case nonstop of the years, Robert Ross & Jasmine, you are AMAZING!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value As someone who is familiar with the inner workings of the auto insurance industry I can whole heartedly endorse Steven J. Jones and Phillips law group as someone I would want on my side should litigation take place. They handled my case professionally, honestly, and with satisfactory results which I would not have expected without enlisting their help.

The lawyers here are of top quality. Especially Trey Dayes, who was always respectful and hard-working.

I’ve been working at Phillips Law Group for nearly four years and I can confidently say this is the best personal injury firm in Arizona to work for. The firm is the best for numerous reasons but to start, Phillips Law Group gives employees opportunities for promotions and growth. I started working within the settlement department, moved to a paralegal assistant and grew to be a pre-litigation paralegal with my own case load. Each attorney I have worked for is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. Secondly, I love how Phillips Law shows appreciation for employees. They host Friday Zoom Huddles giving out PTO, goodie bags, special shout outs, bonuses and gift cards. They also host extravagant holiday parties and fun contests during the Holidays! Lastly, the firm cares about giving back to the community, which is a trait I value as well. It’s rewarding to see a fast paced firm taking time out of their busy day to pay it forward. I would highly recommend working at Phillips Law Group!

I enjoy my work day here at Phillips Law Group and generally speaking I love my clients. Every day brings a new client or task to keep me on my toes. Administration keeps open communication and is hilarious most of the time! I love the way we celebrate FRIDAY, holidays and birthdays and how everything is so competitive. All in all I’m so fortunate to be here and I enjoy what I do.

I want to thank attorneys Tim and Robert and the paralegal Bethany for all they had done on my case. They were all empathetic, knowledgeable and professional. All my questions were answered, emails returned in a timely matter, and promises fulfilled. I recommend Phillips Law Group if you need help with your injury case.

My review is for Kathy Hudson a legal assistant at the law firm. She is great! She is very professional and a fair based person. She was never rude to me and always called me back. She listened to me and had my best interest as number 1. Mr Nasir who is a supervisor at law firm also was very professional and helpful. Not sure if spelling his name correctly but sorry if not. As far as mr Ross and the lady that runs the front desk reception I would say they are the most unprofessional and rude people I have met at a law firm in my life especially beings they were representing me. But Kathy made it overall a better experience. Thx Kathy.
