Hi. This past monday i pulled something either in my back or rib (feels like the rib).

Bad on Monday, bad on Tuesday, manageable today. Ive been icing and stretching. I can swing a club but its not that comfortable. Here is the problem. Plans to take a few newb friends to the Par 3 course on Sunday. They are coming from all over the place so if i have to cancel, i have to do it soon.

Par 3 is easy for me. I know it like the back of my hand. Playing "soft" wont be an issue. Should i cancel now? Right now i couldnt play a round of golf, even there. But on Sunday i might be good to go.

What to do, what to do.

My suggestion is to keep what you are doing, keep the date, and see how it goes on Sunday. If it hurts too bad for you, take the time and help the newbies with their game.
The alternative is to suck it up, drink a beer or two before to "lube the muscles" and hope it all heals by the time you play on a regulation course. I did the same thing at the practice tee for the first tournament this year, with the help of a little alcohol I made it through the full 18 though without a pretty score. I healed within a week and was back out at the course the following saturday. Hope you heal fast and have a fun time.

Dont play or do any heavy lifting between now and than, keep icing it. Sunday is a few days away so it should do some healing so you can play than.

I did the exact same thing as you recently by pulling a rib muscle on my side. You should be fine playing, just take some advil before your round and stretch it out and it shouldn't bother you too much.

Went to the range today........... no good. It effects my backswing too much.

Spent a half hour on and around the putting green. So it wasnt a total loss.
