I am 21yrs old and my doctor last year told me I have tendinitis in my left wrist. It acted up, I took some medicine and it was ok through the off season and up to 2 days ago... It started acting up again... I'm thinking its more than tendinitis or I need a shot of Cortizone.

Only hurts when I bend my wrist back, but doesn't hurt when I bend it forward... It sucks...

Ahh and the pain continues.

So you don't think I haven't read anything, I would like to say that I'm sorry to everyone that's taking a leave from golf right now and I hope you get back to it soon.

Where was I?

Ahh, yes. The pain continues.

I made a couple trips down to the course to chip and putt a bit because it wasn't a problem at all if i just took my pointer finger on my left hand off of the club when I grip it. There should be very little pressure in the middle of the grip anyways. So i was chipping a little bit and I decided to try and take some half swings. Those felt great. Then 3/4 swings. Omg I haven't lost anything!

Then full swings.

Still great! Nothing was going wrong and I was hitting my driver about 230 or so. I was loving every second of it.

Until disaster.

Took a normal swing just like any other that I had executed that day. Except the only thing that was executed this time was my knee.

Usually when I swing, my left foot has a tendency to slip and turn towards my target right before impact because of all the force that I'm using in my golf swing. It turns out that this time my foot didn't turn for some reason, but my knee keep going. Dislocated my knee for a second, and it popped back in I think. Hurt like a sonnuva....cart girl....

I'm out from golf for ANOTHER 3-4 weeks. On crutches. Living on a golf course. With nothing to do during the day but text my girlfriend and sit watching the golf channel waiting for thursday to come, mouth agape, when some golf actually comes on.

IIIIIIIII hates injuries.....

Wow Phil, you are in tough shape lately! Mine isn't that bad... Tore my MCL this winter playing hockey and am on the tail end of recover from that. Just hyper-extended my left wrist and got tendonitis over spring break. Am back to golf now and no pain, except my knee feels weak. It really sucks, because my swing is absolute garbage right now and I can hardly make clean contact with the ball. I'm still trying to figure out if it has anything to do with the injuries... I think it might be partly because of the knee. It's hard to put my weight back to me left leg when my knee feels weak. Here's to a quick recovery and a good summer!

Phil, you are a walking, golfing disaster!

I've been lucky that the minor injuries I've had came at a time when I couldn't play, anyway. Talking about cut fingers and such.

Get well soon, and permanently, Phil.

Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course... the space between your ears.

I hope you get back soon rhpm and everyone else. I am nursing a sore foot at the moment and not able to to play much and need to ice the bottom of my left foot after playing. I think it is related to a swing change. The good news is that I am hitting it further, but I hope this is going to "wear in" soon.

Thanks guys. For now my goal is to just sit at home and hope that a new episode of spongebob comes on soon (gotta love being a kid) before I die of boredom. I'll probably start working out my upper body for a while while I'm out of commision. Stitches should be out either today or tomorrow.

I was making my breakfast of champions this morning including 3 eggs, 14 strips of bacon, and a bagel.

Are you trying to add CHEST PAINS to your list of ailments? Holy cow that's a lot of bacon!

i had cancer 2 years ago, chemo kept me from playing for about 6 months.

I think this takes the cake. Hope you have beaten your cancer.

hey, you still get to forego responsibility for another 6 or 7 years, and are not expected to do anything but go to school, and make a little money on the side. then you get to play golf as much as you want(as soon as you heal), so quit complaining! ;)

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By GolfLug ·

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
