Well after what I considered my best round off the tee and on appraches on Monday with a new driver, two days later Im in a cast with wrst bone and tendon problem. I personally dont understand how it happened either. I played an 18 hole round instead of 9 but thats about it. Im a small hitter so I dont see how my swing would have caused it. Im just worried now that I might need to change a swing I thought was finaly working after I heal...

I was out last year with a wrist injury. You are not giving us much to go on here. What is the point?

"My ball is on top of a rock in the hazard, do I get some sort of relief?"

Ugh - sorry to hear that. Hopefully you'll get back out there soon.

So sorry to hear!! Just when you were solidifying a big improvement on your game off the tee. Let us know if you pinpoint the cause, or have a sense how long you're out.

On the bright side, you can practice 100% putting someday soon, and nobody will give you grief about it. Too soon?

The last videos are from May but this is basically my swing. It looks like a slow swing to me and not that violent?

I'm not a doctor, but it's unlikely that a "flaw" in your swing caused the injury. The human body is a crazy thing. If physical therapy is part of your recovery process, the therapist will probably help you figure out what motions to avoid.

If you hit a tree root or side / bottom of a sand bunker you could put enough stress on your wrist bones and tendons to do damage but you would know it the second you hit them.  Some injuries are repetitive use injuries, I know a lot of runners that were sidelined with stress fractures in their legs and feet just from all the miles they ran.

Haha thanks a bunch, I actually can still putt! You made me feel better about my current putting but ifs the only skill I can practise, might as well try to improve.

Welcome to the club. Messed up my shoulder a couple weeks ago, and have no idea how I did it. Not a clue. Woke up to pain, and very little range of motion. Should be all better and golfing again in 3-5 weeks.

A whole bunch of Tour Edge golf stuff...... :beer:

What was the diagnosis?

Some cracks apeared in some bones and some messy tendons I was told. 3 weeks in the cast than physio. The doctor also played golf and un-officially suggested to get my swing looked at for anything that might be stressing out my right wrist too much.I actually think I will take a lesson, I've never had my swing looked at.

Get used to the "whacking" it jokes now. Seems like everyone thinks they are the first one to say it...

      Playing With Irons

      By iacas ·

      Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
