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....

      Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing

      I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning.

      Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
