I have one problem in Golf, other than a rubbish swing, and that is glute issues. 

Foe (probably) lifestyle issues I have tight left glutes and hamstrings, and is prone to easily getting injured when I play golf - the result is always the same - destructive hooks with driver or fairways instead of the more predictable fade/slice. 

Tried strengthening last off season with no improvement and more recently stretching with good results and a couple of months of good golf. Until last weekend, when the weather was cold and the same problem rears its head. 

Anybody else battled this problem and got the better of it? With autumn approaching, I worry my good golf will be gone for another 8-9 months.

If that worked then why stop? Keep stretching stay limber. Helps in not having stress concentrated in one area.

Tiger likes to "activate" his glutes.  Sounds like you need to "de-activate" yours...

Maybe not.

Yep, the toughest habit to get is to do something when you feel no symptoms.

Oh, stretching really helps when my back starts bothering me. Let's not stretch when it feels good so it can just start bothering me sooner 😛

Not really with glut issues. 

I do recommend just stretching and exercising as much as possible. Also, could it be something in your swing that you can change that could help diminish the occurrence of this issue?

Sorry for the late response - I appreciate the response. Will try to continue the stretching. Had a great round today, and need to remember how much I enjoy playing my best golf to motivate me 🙂  

Swing issues? possibly, I maybe need to prioritise looking into that the next time I go for a lesson
