I have been playing a lot lately, on average probably about 3 rounds or more a week and at least one or two range sessions.  For the past two or three weeks I have had pain on the top part of my left wrist. (I am a righty) It only hurts at the start of my round but after it gets stretched out it feels perfectly normal.

I have noticed it is starting to get worse but I really don't want to stop playing for an extended period of time.  Have any of you guys had similar pain and do you think it is anything to worry about?

I had similar pain and determined it was due to trying to maintain a flying wedge while hitting the mats or turf before the ball.  I do that much less these days and the pain eventually went away.

It started as soon as I start doing the hinge and hold method to chip.  I think it might have something to do with that.  Its starting to get really annoying now and is not getting any better!

    • Day 23: did the yardstick putting drill for a while. Checked set up in the mirror - need to get those hands more vertical. 
    • PGA didn’t make Scottie their golden boy. He made his self number one by beating everybody that showed up, including Rahm, Bryson and all the other ones that were with the PGA and left. PGA offered them a way back, Koepka took it and Reeds on his way back. 
    • Day 43 (20 Apr 26) - Day spent helping with golf team conference tournament, did get in some swings with the Pw after I got home.  
    • Day 12, April 20.  I spent the better part of an hour practicing various putting, primarily within 10'.   I finished with a 4' drill, the double around-the-world (eventually).  That is, set down 12 coins around the cup at 4', all face up.  Go around the clock.  Make the putt?  Turn the coin over (if it's heads-up) or pick it up (if tails up).  Count the total putts needed to sink all 24 (two from each station).  I took 48 total putts, not great, even given how bad my putting is, but is a wake-up call.  I hope to add to my schedule a lot more time to practice (period) and also putting.   For context, 37 total putts on this drill is about the 18 handicap baseline, and as someone aiming to get his handicap into the single digits in the coming months, making another 4' putt per round would go a decent way ... or even better, getting my 4' putt average under 65% (the bogey baseline).  It'd be great to even get up to 80% (scratch baseline) of course. Also, to clarify yesterday's comment, when I "went for it in two" on that par-5, the "it" I was going for in two was the green, not the boundary fence, despite where the ball ended up. 😕 
    • Day 243 4-20 wrist arch in downswing and some flow drills. Worked on some hip/chest sepeation in backswing. Used mirror and recorded. Foam balls.
