Hi guys, I've recently recaught the golf bug and I've been practicing like mad. Last Sunday I set up the golf net and hit my driver for about 4 hours while recording my swings. I took 15 minute breaks to review the video before whacking another 20 to 30 shots. Monday and today, I find that I've got some fairly sharp foot pain. It's hard to describe, but I'll do my best. I'm right handed so my back foot is my right foot.

The sharpest pain is felt on the top of my foot a couple inches behind my small toe. While the ball of my foot doesn't hurt at all, I get the sharpest stabs when the ball of my foot initially makes contact with the floor. When I lift my foot up, I also feel it the instant the ball of my foot leaves the ground.

Once I'm up and walking around, it settles into a dull ache and I'm not forced to limp, the sharpest pain is only after I've had the foot up or been sitting for awhile.

Has anyone had any experience with this? Did I just overdue it a bit on Sunday? My shoes are on the old side, so I'm going to get some new ones tomorrow. I'm scheduled to play 18 holes on a par 3 course tomorrow (Wednesday), should I cancel or try to play through it?

Uh yeah you over did it. If you are not used to swinging a golf club on a daily basis, hitting balls for four hours can cause some serious pain. You need to work up to a work out like that. Swinging a golf club puts strain on your body where you normally don't put strain. So doing that for four hours would cause pain/problems. Hopefully you didnt seriously injure yourself.
