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 ...

I've been trying to practice 4 times/week but it's murder on my elbows. I'm starting to get golfer's elbow. It is not fun.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 328: night range session. Worked on wrist twist in the downswing. Focused on doing it as well as I could slowly. I hit a lot of pull hooks and some solid straight balls, so that’s good. Video feedback seemed good, but quality wasn’t great because it was bad lighting. Really pleased with how I focused on being slow and specific, using some of the tips from the last Spin Axis pod.

      Day 44 (13 Jun 25) - Friday men’s shootout…played so-so.  A couple of lost ball penalties on the front for a pair of dbl bogies (the only of the day) kept the score up - however had some neat recovery shots especially on the back nine to save par on a couple and bogie on another.  All in all - a good day to make the most of course management…and minimize miscues.

      Rules Story Thread

      The first bit of 6.3 says teeing area rules apply when: The player is starting play of the hole (see Rule 6.1), The player will play again from the teeing area under a Rule (see Rule 14.6), or The player’s ball is in play in the teeing area after a stroke or after the player has taken relief. So yes, if you take Unplayable Relief in the Teeing Area, you can then move it or tee it up.  Note that for Back on the Line penalty relief, for Unplayable or Penalty Area, the relief area may be any area of the course.  For free relief, you must usually end up in the same area of the course as your ball was previously, That means you can't take relief from a sprinkler head for a ball in the General Area and drop in the Teeing Area.
