I have a disc issue as well from a speed boat accident years ago ... what bothers me more than playing is walking - if I want exercise, I'll walk (with a pull cart) 9 holes, can't walk 18.     Walking kills me much more than swinging a golf club.     It's always ibuprofen after playing, which helps.      Having back issues sucks - seems to be just part of getting older and is worsened by golfing.      Good luck ... and if you continue to play, develop an EASY tempo swing - thats what I'm always working on to save my back...

      Hybrids

      By pganapathy ·

      Well, I have a 2 hybrid, 4 hybrid and then play 6 iron onwards.  My best clubs are probably the 4 hybrid and the PW.  What I find is that loft is your friend in general which is why my 4 hybrid is so much better than my 2 hybrid.  Definitely disproportionately more so than the 5 or so degrees of difference in loft.  If you have hybrids, play them.  And consider loft as your friend.  Invariably you will get up to a loft where anything less will not get you more distance because of your club head speed.  Essentially the faster you swing the less lofted a club you can hit effectively.  For me it is probably a 4 hybrid and maybe a 7 iron though I could improve both with practice
