Swing adjustments for a dodgy lower back?

[hue]

Brian and others: A friend of mine has a really bad back IMO he should give up golf. He has had disc problems close to where the spine joins the hip. A normal pivot causes him pain and he has developed an over the top move to relieve pressure on his back. What recommendations do you have for people with this problem? Do you think he should play a pull shot? Thanks.

Do as Jim Flick says, swing with the arms only.

Im trying to think of the most backfriendly way to play golf...

Short Pivot on backswing - ie... Moe Norman
Hitting action downswing instead of using pivot thrust of the swinger
No reverse C....
