While I'm sure that the OP finds this tempo conversation interesting, that's not helping his tendonitis.   This diversion would be better served in it's own thread.  

Thanks I agree with the idea it's not helping in this thread, you are right. I really didn't want it in the first place, not in this red or really not in another thread either. My apologies to the OP. 

As far as his tendonitis, it's your body saying it needs rest and a stoppage of the activity you are doing presently. If you get that kind of soreness and pain you're doing something wrong, and in my opinion, you're forcing your swing. Golfers around the world play golf frequently without those kinds of problems, so you see it can be done. And I will say this, and I do not want to debate about it, swinging hard and swing speed are two different things. They may produce similar outcomes, but don't be fooled, they're reaching a goal in different methods, one a good method, and the other a not-so-good way. Again, look at the PGA Pros, where it looks like they are not swinging hard, but they are generating all kinds of swing speed, this is the way to get distance without causing undue stress to the body. One last thought, if you already have the pain, which you do, you need to rest your body and heal and then start back in with golf the proper way. I would say see a local professional and explain your situation and deal with it with him,

Fighting right elbow tendinitis here also, right on the tip of the elbow. Not golf related, I think it was from working out and doing trillions of reps of pandemic bodyweight exercises

I think I have narrowed my issue to the Kettlebell figure 8 to hold, followed by a death grip on the club, then swinging too hard.
This seems to be a heck of a combo.
My pain shoots from the elbow up through the tendon.
I have been swinging lightly and no issue. 
I was working out yesterday and the hold portion of the kettlebell movement was causing my elbow to have a weird feeling. I stopped immediately. I will remove this exercise from my routine.

My suggestion is let your injury heal a 100 percent first and then work on your muscles to strengthen them.  Ensure the exercises are golf specific if possible.

    • Day 1: After a long practice layoff due to injury, vacation, winter darkness, and work stuff, I'm trying to start back up again. Today I just hit balls with keys from my lesson 6-ish weeks ago; neutral grip and centered turn. Gonna work with that for a few weeks, see how it goes, and then get a lesson scheduled.
    • It’s not live on free to air tv in the UK, and hasn’t been since 1995. ( I pay a subscription to Sky for generally good golf coverage). There are limited highlights on the BBC for some golf events, but that’s it. Are other/all PGA events on NBC?  Allowing ticket scalping is a systemic failure across sports and showbiz, which could be legislated against, but in the UK is not in any meaningful way. I don’t know much about the secondary market in the US or anti scalping measures.  Charging more to keep prices down is an interesting concept, in practice no doubt you are right even if It sounds a bit Catch 22  Do you think sports tickets and broadcast rights  should be sold on a purely capitalist basis, or is there an argument to say that some sports might benefit more from wider exposure and affordable access. ( golf in the US is apparently not one of these if tickets sold out at those prices so quickly)  Fans might benefit from cheaper tickets and in the UK at least, TV coverage that reaches a wider audience.
