I was playing last week (Sunday) when on the 15th hole, par 5, right after I made contact (driver) I felt a pinch in my left arm.  It's that muscle that forms between the top forearm and tricep.  It got very sore and I managed to finish the round. It got better the next day and everyday after that and was feeling perfect, normal today..until today, Thursday, when I took that first drive again and felt the same pinch.  However, it wasn't as bad and I was able to finish the round..but arm is sore again (but much less than the first time)and have been using a compression sleeve.

It's not like I started playing right..been playing everyweek..just all of a sudden.

Anybody else been through this?  I plan on laying off of golf for a week to see....

No idea what it is but you better start using ice on it for twenty minute intervals at least three times a day (with an hour break in between) for the next 72 hours. It accelerates the healing process, whatever it is. And it's obviously not serious or else you'd be at the doctor right now. Ice is so key to reducing inflammation and preventing overuse injuries, which it sounds like this is. If you are so concerned about this though you know what you've gotta do: doctor's appointment. Also, I think the part you may be referring to is a tendon, not a muscle. I'd get some ice on that and then wrap it in ace bandage or putting the compression sleeve back on right after icing. The elbow (and left wrist) can be easily tweaked hitting it fat a few too many times off mats if you're doing that, but it sounds like you are playing quite often, so this is a reasonable result hitting off mats or not. Ice, rest, compression. Anti-inflammatories if you got 'em and are okay using those. In the current state it's in you likely need a couple weeks off, but only you and your doctor can know that for sure. Start using ice though at the very first sign of a tweak. Do not wait a day to do anything about it. You'll reduce recovery time significantly. For this injury though, it's a little late for that, but you can still benefit from treating it.

It already feels better, just a tad sore..yes, I'll ice it tonight.  I agree, going to lay off of it for a bit but better safe than sorry.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.
