My lower back is by far the most sore part of body after I've shot a good round of golf.  Not sure why though.  I mean,  I know what I use it for, but not sure why it's the most sore part of my body, vs other areas.

I dont get sore after a round of golf. Now if I play 4 days in a row, varous muscles will be sore due to over use.  Most of the soreness is in my shoulders. Its a good kind of soreness because after a good  night's rest, its all gone. 

Now earlier this week I wheel barrowed 5 yards of pee gravel about 40 yards and spread it for a yard project. Took a few hours to do that. The next day I was sore all over. :whistle:

I don't really get sore after golf but sometimes my ankles/calfs can be a little tight after the round.

I don't get sore playing a round, but after 4-5 large buckets with my training clubs then my lower back is also sore as with many other muscle groups. Not a bad sore, as it usually goes away after a day or two as well. It's usually the next morning that the  soreness kicks in. . .

I have a bad right knee, torn ligaments many many years ago now a constant ache. I take 2 aleve before a round and I wear a brace but a combination of walking and the motion of the swing and I am in need of a soak after 18. Some day I suppose I will be reduced to using a golf cart but other than places like Myrtle Beach where you cannot go without a cart at the times I wish to play, I walk and use a 3 wheel push cart

My knees will be sore the next morning unless I ice them. Also, my left ankle will be sore. I had an old injury there and I am just used to it being sore.

Good or bad round has nothing to do with being sore. If I am sore it's because I've aggravated a nagging injury or suffered a new one. But usually I notice it long before the round is over, unless it happened on the 18th hole. I'll sit it out and ride in the cart while my friends finish or get off the course before I'll risk making it worse. Without injury just playing golf doesn't make me sore.

I with Patch.  At the beginning of the season I got sore all over because I was out of shape and I walk the course.  Now however, after playing, and walking all summer, and after 3 or 4 days in a row I get sore around shoulders upper back and chest.  A day or two of rest and it goes away.

Must be the "old man's" clubs I bought this year.

Usually my right hand. Often the pinkie since I overlap and a few bad chunked shots will lead to a nice swollen knuckle. Seems to be happening less as my swing improves.

Used to be my left side... Now it's overall fatigue, combined with issues in my lower back, along with specific issues with the rotator cuff in my right shoulder, and NOW, I'm getting a twinge of arthritis issues in the top knuckle of my middle finger of my left hand. Really noticed it after 3 rounds in 5 days while in Florida a couple of weeks ago- Painful and tender, with some swelling. great... just great...

My feet. I am at an age where my arches have flattened a bit, and my feet have "grown." For the last few years, I have had a hard time finding comfortable shoes. At 61 I feel blessed to no back or leg issues.

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
