Newbie injuries - help!

[MarvChamp]

@RJN12  The symptoms may be gone. but watch for numbness in your fingers, painful grip, swelling in hands...Could be carpal tunnel. I came down with it after two rounds of golf 10 days ago. Very painful. Waiting to see about surgery or other treatment. I pride myself on practice 2x or 3x a week and my Saturday game. Maybe not so good a routine. Anyway, two gloves, arthritic grips, softer grips may help. Best wishes, -Marv

Thanks! Came from a running background, so know the value of cross training/warm up and stretching. Guess I underestimated the physical demands of golf, so didn't take this part seriously. Learned my lesson and will 'start over' - take a bit of time off and heal, and then take your kind advice! 

Many, many people think that the golf swing is nothing special! It's an athletic movement that demands conditioning! Get into it gradually. Let your body get used to it.
