I was doing a golf lesson at my local golf club with instructor.

After hitting about 150 balls or something and driving back home in my car. I just had this terrible pain in my middle back / lower back.

My muscles are not like "super-weak" or whatever. I'm pretty fit average or better (percentile of age group 24 yrs) according to my personal trainer and recent fitness test.

The only muscle possibility seems to be imbalance. weaker back and abs muscles, in relation to my stronger legs and stronger arms and chest. Possibly...

I don't have much deformities that I know of!

Culprit could also be something in the golf swing.

I remember that the golf pro noted to me, that I raise my left heel at the backswing. It seems that many pro golfers do this also.

Could it be affecting the back pain issue though? Like a tilted hip turn causing pain of vertebrae? http://www.golfdigest.com/golf-instruction/2010-03/save-your-back-foley

Are you still having pain? Swinging a golf club seems to twist my back. Chiro straightens me back out and voila.


nah it went away next day.

But if I had gone playing 18 holes after 150 range balls, I couldn't have hit golf balls very well with the backpain.

      Again, I’m not an expert so take it with a grain of salt My question is whether laying back even further becomes too conservative and that strategy is suboptimal as a result? Essentially what’s the cost of guaranteed longer second shot vs the x% risk for hitting the bunker? I think the optimal way to answer the question is looking at strokes gained, in consideration of the hazards and penalties, and picking the strategy that maximizes SG off the tee. I’ve seen some apps that do this but I’m not sure how accurate they are.   And again, asking all this so I can learn what I should be doing in these situations rather than questioning your approach Bill. I would give an example of the course I’m joining this year where I plan to aim at the bunker, but I don’t want to take over your swing thread any further!

      What @DeadMan said. From the satellite it looks like there's tall grass to the right, long of the fairway post-dog-leg. But left it just looks like regular rough all the way to the neighboring tee boxes. If that's true I'm aiming left edge of the green and bombs away every time, hoping for a 30-70 yard up and down opportunity.

      What's the case against blasting a driver at the green? I'm guessing it puts the penalty area/fescue too much into play, but if that's just standard rough around the green, there would be a good case for it. If it's not driver, then I agree with your approach. The one thing I would add is to shade your aim towards the bunkers vs. center of the fairway. Hitting out of a bunker is (marginally) better than a penalty drop.

      Yes, if you are gonna layup, then layup. No need to nickle and dime a few extra yards and bring bunker back into play.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      Took my wedges in to get regripped and saw the local store had some leftover Pure grips, was pretty excited to see those still around. Got those put onto my wedges, I love these grips, they have such a great feel to them. Also picked up a brand new (opened and second hand) Cleveland Huntington Beach putter for a great price! About %50 of retail. It had been purchased by someone else who decided to buy a different putter and was never used. I love the feel of it.
