Hello,

I am a right hander and have been playing a round every alternate day for the past few weeks. As if I did not have enough problems with my swing, I have noticed one more issue. My right forearm is always sore after the round on that day.

Is it normal for golfers to have a sore right forearm if they play everyday or every alternate day ? Or am I gripping the club too hard, swinging with my arms etc. ?

Thanks a lot.

That is strange, I've never had forearm pain.  I hit about 180 range balls and played 18 holes yesterday so when I woke up today my hands were a little bit stiff but that was to be expected from hitting so many balls.  Anyway, right forearm you say?  That doesn't make much sense to me since your right arm should be just riding along on most of your swings.  Are you using your right arm to significantly push the club forward in your swing, like a baseball bat?  If so I'm pretty sure that is bad, especially if you're jamming irons into the ground and sending stingers up your arm.

Is it the forearm, or a little further up....the inside of the right elbow area?  The latter would be symptomatic of "golfer's elbow", a form of tendinitis.

This may or may not be relevant but awhile back I had a similar problem in that my right forearm hurt a little mostly on the lateral just above the wrist joint.  I found that I could relieve the pain by letting go with my right hand about 3/4 of the way down and continue the swing with just the left arm. Believe it or not, it seemed to promote an in to out swing path without sacrificing any accuracy. The only thing I can deduct from that is that it eliminated any sort of right hand turn over/release. Bear in mind, I am not advocating any such move, but it is only an observation that I came across quite by accident. I am quite sure that if I tried that in normal play, it would not last but a hole or two, but then again????    stranger things have happened, new paradigms are discovered every day.

Were at on the forearm? If it is on the outside of the forearm close to the elbow, then its probably a form of tennis elbow. You can buy a compression band. But the only way to fix that is to rest it, ice it. You want to decrease the inflamation of the tendon.

I have/ had the same problem except mine is on the very top about 2 inches down from the elbow on that tendon... I figured it was forearm tendinitis but I was going on a monthlong vacation so hoped it had healed, it did but not entirely, I hope to hear some remedys...

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
