do you walk or ride during the round when you get the pain

if it occurs while you walk, it most likely shin splints. You can probably due for a better fitted pair of shoes, and work on some leg exercises to get the calves and shins strengthened.

i agree that it is most likely shin splints..it occurs when your allignment is off in your legs. work on some upper and lower leg exercises and be sure to focus on the quads and ahmstrings as they can be causing the pain in your shins also

Shin splints, if that is what it is is a repetive motion injury.  The tendon is actually getting over developed in a sense.  I have read that in extreme cases this tendon pulls away from the bome and can lead to a stress fracture.  Orthotics, ibuprofin, icing may help.  If it lasts more than a few weeks I would check with a doc.  There are lots of other things it could be.

Most of the time is because you got weak muscles in the legs, this causes your tendons to take more stress.

Calf raises, reverse calf raises, squats, deadlifts

I would work on those 4 exercises at least twice a week, start off with just body weight, unless you do workout then just continue at your normal weight progression. I would also go to a New Balance, get fitted for shoes. Just go there to figure out the exact size. I didn't know i was wide footed, so i always use to go up half a size on normal width. I went and got shoes half a size smaller and wide, no problems while walking.

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).

    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
