Wanted to start a thread to see what kind of injuries you folks have been afflicted with due to those countless balls you have hit and other practice sessions. At the moment, I am nursing a left pinky trigger finger (flexor tendinitis) and my right hand is numb and can't make a fist. I do not hold my clubs with a kungfoo grip, but rather I'm sure this is/was due to the continued stress I put on my hands from golf. Anyone else get this?

You know all of the common ailments like the sore back. I haven't had anything that wasn't cured with 800mg of ibuprofin and a shot of wickey before the first hole.
I do have a friend though that hits alot of balls off of a practice mat that ended up with golfers elbow from the jaring at impact.

Easy to remember this. I tore a chest muscle in April 2002 while on the local driving range which rendered my golf game incognito for five months. Didn't swing a club until mid-September that year. As a result I have loose cartilage in my rib cage that I feel move when I stretch to this day. No rhyme or reason as to why it happened, and other than occasional aches and pains there has been nothing else resulting from my golf swing.

I'm not sure what exactly I have done, but recently I have been having major shoulder pain and I think it is either a separated shoulder or a torn shoulder muscle.

Costochondritis!

I strained my latissimus dorsi (I think) a few years ago while hitting balls on the range. I didn't go to a doctor or anything but I couldn't bend for a couple weeks. It sucked. I stretch a lot now before I swing.

I broke my left tibia about 1" above my ankle in January ended up having surgery to insert some pins (at work not playing golf lol)... But I've always been a carrier (couldn't afford a cart anyways) and my leg has been really sore after playing golf.. two weeks ago 18 holes and I was basically done for the week, but last weekend I played 18 saturday and sunday and it felt good.. It's getting stronger.

I have to watch where I'm walking though, because if I step on something uneven and roll it just a little bit, it hurts for a week.

    • Congrats on the new leg of your journey - the challenge of learning something new while dealing with Parkinson’s is totally awesome.
    • Played several holes today with my Buddy's left haded clubs.  I was going to order just woods, but after playing again today and hitting the irons well, I will be ordering a complet set of Left handed Clubs.    They are Callaway Edge, Regular flex.  I am excited !  Will let you know after I try them and let you know how well they performed.    Retired Old Man, Terry
    • Depends in part on what lie the greens crew left me. If it's first cut of rough or fairway and clear shot to cup, it's an 8i chip and run. If it's shaggy, or I have to go over ridge or bunker, it's a cut shot with a 58* LW.
    • Throw a stick down in almost every range session.
    • Day 358: Played 18. Incredible psycho scorecard but finished +5. Also completed the birdie challenge. And the no 6s challenge, for that matter. Was not my best ball striking or driving round, but was able to hit enough good shots to make a few birdies and scrape it around.
