I'm 31 years old, and 'm curious about a bruise that popped on Friday after an irregular amount of golf for me. I just started getting back into golf after a couple busy years and back issues. Long story short, I've been making it a point to hit a lot of balls at the range, and get out for full rounds whenever I have a chance. This week, I played a full round on Wednesday, drove 4 hours to Cleveland area Thursday, then I played 18 with a customer in the morning, and shot better than I have in my life. Went to customer meetings immediately after, and on my way home, I wanted to see if I could keep the great ball striking going. Stopped at a fun, wide open course, and shot even better (78). Hopped in the car and drove another 4 hours home. My question is, has anybody ever had a bruise from straining their hamstring. It's my left leg, and I'm a RH player, so there's definitely more twisting and strain on my lead leg. But I'm positive it's not an impact bruise. My wife's a nurse and she started checking my body for other bruises or signs to rule out the worst-case that I was in fear of (leukemia). I just have always been active my entire life, and never have I bruised from something that wasn't an acute injury, like sprained ankles.

You would know if you pulled a hamstring. It's just a bruise

    • Day 19: worked with foam balls for a while. Going slow to make sure I’m rolling and twisting. It feels weird, which is good. Going to take more work, but I’m on the way I think. 
    • Day 39 (16 Apr 26) - Back to easy swings as the lead foot was overly tender from yesterday - stuck to some easy pitches with wedges and a few 1/2 tempo swings with 6i.  Was good to slow down and work on setup and overall alignment…
    • I saved the ball and wrote the details -- "my first eagle," course, hole number, and date on it.  Maybe I should write the yardage and the club too.
    • Day 8, April 16.  Continued pelvis turn drills after work today;  I've already spent 20 minutes doing this, am taking a short break (and have fulfilled the challenge for the day) and then I'm back to it.  
    • Played 9 holes tonight. Driver is hit or miss, but I haven’t practiced that at all. It was a struggle to get sequencing down for the arms and lower body. I definitely have to do my downswing wrist piece a lot or I just push the crap out of the ball. Pitching needs some work. Chipping was good, chipped in twice. Putting was fine.  Shank Counter: 2
