National estimates (NE) were calculated utilizing the NEISS statistical sample weight for each hospital.

Injuries were highest among &gt;60 years (49%) and 10 to 19-year-old golfers (11%). Most commonly involved LE body parts were the knee (n = 586; NE = 31,539; 32%), lower leg (n = 498; NE = 24,729; 25%), ankle (n = 453; NE = 21,860; 22%), and foot (n = 263; NE = 12,814; 13%). The most commonly identifiable mechanisms of injury were 38,889 cart-related (40%), 15,287 falls (16%), and 11,181 overuse injuries (11%). There was an increasing annual trend in LE injury involving golf carts (236 per year;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .001).
