Hello All,
I am still a beginner, but seem to hit pretty well at the range. I have been going to the range or to a course three days a week for the last two months. My question is, the last two times I hit at the range, less than 200 balls each time, afterwards, my left ankle hurts when twisting it. I am right handed, and am wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what may prevent this. Am I trying to get too much follow through and am torquing the anle too much. You would think that if this were to happen, it would have when I was starting out. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

That seems strange, but you should be able to prevent it by flaring your left foot out a bit at address. That way it won't be twisted as much as you follow through. Hope that helps a bit.

I use to have that problem and sometimes still do. I believe its because the ankle's ligaments and muscles are tight and still cold. If you have a hot pack, put that on, jog routinely, or get a doctor. I usually just rub my ankles with my hands when I practice and it hurts. I know what you mean. Sometimes it feels really bad and your swing feels crappy.

Thanks for the input, come to think of it, I normally play or go to the range just after working out. I di dnot the last two times when it hurt. I'll have to warm the ankle up a bit I guess. Thanks again.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
