Surprisingly nothing, and I walk 18+ holes often, I'm tired and ready for the couch, but never sore.

I'm guessing that won't last.

I'm usually not sore after a round but yesterday I went to the range to work specifically on driver distance.  I hit a large bucket, maybe 20 9irons and 80 drivers.  About 40 of those drivers were swinging as hard as I could.  Today my arms and shoulders are a bit sore - nothing terrible but I'm thinking I need to work on relaxing my arms when I try to swing hard.  My results were not awesome and I felt like I was overswinging . .but I couldn't really help it.  Today I'm going back and still hit 80 drivers but really try to keep my arms from tensing up.

It's the knees for me. Depends where I have played to how sore they are. But its only because I have bad knees. 3 dislocations over the last 10 years.

Noticed almost immediately after a round:  elbow ligaments, left arm.  Probably be I squeeze the club with left hand.  Bad habit, no doubt.

After a nice 18-hole round on a warm summer Sunday, the wife and I will usually hit an outdoor eatery for dinner.  It's after dinner and a couple of pints that the real misery finds me.  Ankles, knees and hips all feel it after sitting for an hour or more after the round.

That part always goes away quickly because it's the resting of muscles and joints that tighten up.  It's the elbow ligament pains that worry me.

Generally sore all over when I play first time after winter break

nothing that prevents me from golfing again   The only really serious injury from golfing are:

i used to have this golfers elbow right arm  now it's better with changing my right arm grip

i also use to have a sore left hand too. Adjusted my left hand grip so it's stronger and I can hinge better in the proper position and it's better now

When I ride, nothing hurts.  When I walk, my feet can be a little tired.  Last round my hips hurt a little since it was the first walking round in a long time.  During the hot months, I always ride.

    • Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.
    • Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs. 
    • Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.
    • Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm. 
    • Slight digression on the way to my point. Back in the day there were a lot of people who said that Tiger won because of “the Tiger effect” where people pushed too hard and made mistakes trying to catch him and fell by the wayside. I thought that was BS. It was just that he was that much better than them. I don’t think anything has changed my mind on that.    The hype about Miles Russell is very limited. I’ve seen nothing about him outside of some fairly hardcore golf websites. But I think that the reason those people are talking about him is because he is very good. Same as Tiger. And like I said he just broke one of Tiger’s records. That gets hardcore golf fans to pay attention.
