Three weeks off did the trick, or very much of it.  I only putted on carpet on vacation and missed the week before and the week of but got out there today.  I'm not feeling the impact pain as before. I did feel a tiny bit of discomfort today but only noticed it once, and it was after hitting three consecutive tee shots (it's a practice course and no one was behind me).  I'm hitting the ball a lot better, and am going to try some middle irons soon.  I'll hold off yet on the big sticks until I know it can handle 4 and 5-iron shots.  Longest club used today was a seven on the par 3 course.

Well I got stuck hitting on old worn mats to warm up before playing yesterday.  Sucked.  I hit some good shots but also bashed the mat enough times to bring back the wrist pain. Hit some good shots on the course early, but fell apart quickly and got my back irritated and my wrist to throbbing before it was over. It ached all night.

I'll have to play other courses and simply warm up at that particular course with chipping and sand shots. Should consider grabbing a some tight-ish wraps from a sporting goods store( https://gritroutdoors.com/ is where I've got mine) No more mats at all for me for a while. This is going to put a big limit on the course options now. 

I was okay on Top Golf mats for a few hundred shots--but also that was before I'd banged up this wrist. 

If you still feeling pain probably didn't recover fully yet. At this point just make sure you're not putting too much pressure on your wrist and maybe warm up properly.

Was good until I chunked a few on the worn out range mat.  Thanks for the comment. 

 

I'll be fine. I'm going down the Manuel de la Torre road now. Everything feels better. Cheers!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 262 5-12 Got an early practice session in this morning. Arms off body was the main focus with getting chest through with speed, I did much better with wrist arching through the downswing.

      Playing and Expectations: Shorter Par-5s

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Yea, developing a proper shot zone for that approach should would be helpful. If you are bringing OB into play more than you like, then it is either needs to be an accepted reward for the risk. If you hit 10 shots from that tee ball landing area. If like 1 ball goes OB, that could be outlier shots you need to discard. If more than that is creeping in, then it is probably not the correct shot.  Maybe it needs to be more nuanced. Maybe you hit more shots OB from the left side of the hole than right due to shot shape. If you hit it left to right, maybe being on the left side makes you aim further right, bringing in OB right. It could be an aiming issue.

      Thank you, @saevel25.  First two points, definitely, and those are things I can do.  PGA Tour average being 3.0 from 100 yards in the rough (or 160 in the fairway, per ESC) is a great reminder that a 5 is a really good score on a par-5 and the occasional six isn't anything to be upset about, as long as I played it intelligently.   I'm playing in less than a week, and I checked the three par-5s against ShotScope's 5-handicap baseline.    My last par on two of them yielded a 0.23 stroke gain (each), while the last one had -0.07 on my last par (I wonder if ShotScope measures straight-line distance, because there's some slight bending going on). Hmmm, that last one, especially with between the ropes.  I think I'll go through my past rounds later today and see where I'm losing strokes there -- I would guess it's on my second shot, since that one makes me nervous because of O.B. left and right on the second shot.  Yet, I think I can hit a hybrid from my typical tee shot landing area and have a distance wedge into the green.

      Goal 1) Keep the ball between the ropes. The ropes being where you have a full swing at the ball to advance it as far towards the green as possible. Not in trees, bunkers, hazards, long grass, OB, etc...  Goal 2) Advance the ball as far as possible towards the green with respect to your shot zone. Keep the ball in play, ideally in the fairway, but the rough is not terrible. Stay away from hazards, including bunkers. Ideally, you will in play with a short iron, distance wedge shot, pitch shot, or on the green. If this is the case, then think of it as having a par 3 that is the distance left on the par 5. If you are hitting a full swing short iron, then that is going to be difficult to get par than bogey. PGA Tour is 3.0 from the rough from 100 yards. This might be where fairway matters the most.  PGA Tour rough is tougher than what we usually play. If you get can this close to 50/50 for par/bogey than you will most likely end up more pars than bogies on par 5's. You would probably be better than 50/50 if you end up closer to the hole. This is where the advice would be, aim at the center of the green with full swing shots into par 5's.
