About

My name is Wayne Imber. I hold a Ph.D. in psychology and am a retired professor currently residing in Cincinnati, Ohio. Throughout my 30-year-long career, I’ve taught social and developmental psychology classes in both undergraduate and master’s programs in Chicago and throughout Arizona and Massachusetts. 

I spent my undergraduate years assisting in the rehabilitation of former inmates, helping them adjust to life outside prison. Today, I am still tapped as a resource speaker on the topic of criminal rehabilitation for seminars.

Stay Healthy By Playing Golf

Image source: amarillomagonline.com Golf may not seem like a sport that builds muscles and raises endurance and stamina. It may not improve a person’s physique the same way boxing does, or even football or basketball. It may not be as physically demanding as Greco-Roman wrestling or going through a triathlon.

Avoid golf injuries with these expert tips

Image
Golf seems like a mild, gentle game, does it not? And in many ways it is. However, don’t let that fool you into thinking that you can’t get hurt playing golf. Just because no one’s around to hit or block you, it doesn’t mean you can’t get injured. Perhaps, the best comparison we can think of is working out in the gym. While you’re alone doing your thing, you can still hurt yourself. That’s how it is with golf. Image source: shipsticks.com Let’s take a look at how to avoid injuries while playing this beautiful game. Posture As with many sports, good posture is the foundation of golf.
