Anyone have anything I can try to help rehab a pulled/strained muscle? It is on my left side on the bottom of my rib cage. Happened today on the 3th tee when I tired to get after one too hard. I had to pickup after the 4th hole and just ride the remainder of the round it hurt so bad to even take 1/2 swing. Really depressing as i know these can take a long time to heal. Any advice? I have already been icing it on and off tonight.

I hate to say it, but you have to take about 4-6 weeks off. I tried to play through it last year but it just delayed the healing.

Once it got better I started playing with a little soreness still remaining. Iced it as soon as I got home.

Have a rib injury now myself, been about 2 weeks and it still hurts. Just when I think it's better, I'll sneeze or move a certain way and the pain is ridiculous. Can't wait till this gets better.

This may be a blessing in disguise.

I would definately take some time off, you don't want to go on with the pain for longer than you must or have permanent damage. When I tore my left AC joint a few years back, my orthopedic doctor told me to wait until it feels 100%, then wait another 2 weeks before touching a club. In my case, that was 5 months.... should be just a tad shorter for you Anyways, I would use the opportunity to get some serious putting and chipping practice in! When you do get back out there, you're gonna be rusty from tee to green, but the wedge and flatstick can bail you out big time. Plus, once the rest of your game normalizes, you may even get down to a 2.0 or better

This is something odd for me. I've always been able to play with injuries. Jammed fingers, spranged wrist, dislocated finger, pulled muscle, you name it, I've played with it. I guess I just focus to the point that I don't care. But I'd say take two weeks off and ice it. And STRETCH

He's a bit younger than me, so he may heal faster, but my experience says 6 weeks too - especially when the pain is immediate.

I've had a couple of those injuries from playing hockey and one from playing golf - same recovery time for both - when I could finally take a full breath without wincing I knew I was recovering.

Wait until it doesnt hurt anymore might be 2 weeks. Then wait another week after that. Then stop immediately for a few days if/whenever it hurts again. Very frustrating I know.

    • Yes, a ball going faster will go farther… but it's nearly impossible for "all other parameters" to remain the same. "A ball going faster with the same of everything else will go farther" is pretty rudimentary stuff. The entire swing. The handle moves the whole time. The golf swing is a matter of both translational and rotational forces. And yet it's also kicked out a little, as it's not directly behind the motion of the hand path at that instant.
    • bought a used epic driver 3 years ago treated me well i am 72 bought with senior shaft a friend of bought a brand new  ping 440 claims he hits straighter and added 10 to 15 yards on his drive i know drivers are the most frequent club bought is a new driver that much better
    • It's true that it is not always clear where to draw the line of "significant". But I would argue that saving half a stroke or more is definitely more than significant. According to the common meaning of "significant", which is all we have because the word is not defined elsewhere in the rules.  This is irrespective of the two stroke penalty for playing from a wrong place. That penalty is only for when there was no significant advantage.  And it is possible to tell to some certainty whether a stroke or half a stroke was saved by such tools as strokes-gained, experience of officials, etc. Applying the conditions listed in the definition of serious breach.  In the example in which a player gave themselves free relief from a boundary object, if relief was necessary, then that wrong place gave a significant advantage.  Though apparently there is some sort of verbal tradition that tournament officials have a higher standard of what they consider "significant". Much higher than one stroke. And they like to take into account that the player already received a two-stroke penalty, though that is not in the rules for determining what is a "significant advantage".  
    • Until I can find some positive things to post about my swing I think it’s about time to… 
    • How would you change the rule to make it more "fair", and still be consistently interpreted and enforced?  It may not be perfect, but as a referee I can watch a player and look at the ground surface and make a ruling.  How can it be changed to address different players and their individual height, weight, and shoe size?
