I am in the process of working on more of a S and T or Foleyish swing with more shoulder tilt, more weight on front foot, etc.  I have only been able to work on it inside since theres more than a foot of snow outside, but i think it will work out well.

Is there any reason with this new move that my left (front) upper hip/lower side area seems to hurt?  There is a lot of pressure in that area during the swing so i think i might be doing something a little off.

Now once the snow clears i plan to get a new video up, but does this sound familiar to anyone?  what are some things with a S and T ish swing that can cause this?

You could try opening your feet up if you haven't already. However, I haven't really run into this problem, so I can't be of much help.

There shouldn't be any difference in hip stress with S&T; versus any other swing.  Sounds like it's your hip flexor or outer ab area from your description.  Have you been shoveling a lot of snow lately (I have)?  You may have stressed the area during other activity and feel it when you swing.  Try ice and stretching to relieve the pain.

I have this pain not from SnT, but well before because one leg is a tad shorter than another and I aggravated it with long distance running, tennis, golf, etc..  But not during playing, after and only if I over do it in terms of activity.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

The soreness is from the side of my back, i think it might be called the back joint and then around and down towards the hip.  I think it has something to do with doing something incorrectly while bending over more and turning with my weight forward.  i guess ill figure it out though.  i just wanted to see if it was anything common when making this type of adjustment.  thanks

    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.   
    • No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death. 
    • Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area? 
    • I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
