Annika Neumann was, quite literally, born into the game of golf. Instead of a bouquet of congratulatory flowers or a smiling stuffed animal, Neumann's grandfather gifted her a set of plastic golf clubs on the day she was born.
"Golf is kind of like a family thing," Neumann said. "… I don't know what my life be like without golf."
So it's not a stretch to say golf has been there every step of the way for Neumann, a junior golfer for Ohio Northern University.

Back pain, whether in the neck or lower back, has become ubiquitous. The National Institute of Health estimate that 80 percent of all Americans have suffered from back pain at some point in their lives, and the number of adults whose life is markedly affected continues to grow.
Many will be familiar with the feelings of a stiff, sore back after a wrong twist, a bad bend or an intensive workout. These pains are usually musculoskeletal in origin and will heal over time with rest, ice/heat and over-the-counter medications.
