Despite what some may think, golf is a physically demanding sport and I'm starting to feel the effects once again.

Last season, I had a nagging shoulder injury (lower trapezius) that bothered me constantly. I thought that the long off-season would allow it to heal and be 100% but it's already bothering me again and we're only into our first month. I think it's probably time for a more drastic treatment.

Anyway, have any of you suffered injuries from golf (overuse or otherwise) and how did it affect you?

I used to drink a lot while out golfing, I think I injured my liver

On a serious note, I have never had any problems golfing besides muscle soreness at the beginning of the season the day after a long range visit.

I have a tenderness in my right elbow that never quite goes away; it flares up really badly after a long driving range session. I guess this is the golfer's equivalent of "tennis elbow".

I just play through it and eat a lot of ibuprofen.

Occasional twinge in a back muscle, like right now, that causes me to take a few days or a week off. Other than that, nothing major .... touch wood.

But I forget to mention, I actually took up golf about four years ago after a lifetime of tennis because I got a pretty bad case of peripheral neuropathy in the feet after some intensive chemotherapy (Hodgkins Disease). The cancer is gone, my tennis career is over (feet start to hurt when I run around more than a few minutes), but motor function is unaffected and I just love the game of golf. So, I'm still alive and enjoying my time on the range and the golf course.

My peripheral neuropathy in no way affects my game, so I've got no excuse there ! My brain neuropathy (age-related) is another matter of course ...

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
