I’m right handed golfer, first yr (learning), played 18 yesterday and my right forearm is still sore.  Any suggestions in trying to change my right arm dominance?

It may not even be "right arm dominance." It may be that your golf swing is simply not very good right now, and you're putting stresses on parts and muscles that aren't supposed to be stressed or used much.

Or maybe you're just new and using muscles you haven't used before. Or maybe you injured yourself slightly.

Few of us here are doctors. I'm not one.

Any tips of trying to correct this or just keep practicing?

None of us can really know what you're doing or even really what part of your arm is sore (or injured), or why.

I'll say this. The last time I shot hoops w/my buddy, after not doing so for years, my right forearm got very sore! The upper part of the forearm just below the elbow. I figured it was from the wrist flex done while letting the shot go, It went away after a while.

If this keeps up, see a doctor. If it persists after that, see a golf instructor.

If the club handle/grip end is hitting your forearm, which is making it sore, then you are probably flipping the club through impact with the ball.

I think the poster means training the left hand to be more involved in the swing. One handed practice swings, using only the left hand/arm would help, if indeed the OP is too right hand dominant.

Yeah I just thought maybe English isn’t his first language so I didn’t want to be too harsh....

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
