Popular Post GolfSpy_KFT Posted April 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2023 GM all! We got a TON of rain overnight and had a flash flood warning, but seems to be all good on that front. Avoided hail and tornados in our neck of the woods as well, thankfully. The course was projecting to open either Friday or Saturday, but if we get more heavy rain I could see them pushing it back or going walking only to start, which would be fine with me as it would mean less golfers initially. happy hump day, all!

Popular Post tony@CIC Posted April 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2023 Morning everyone! Not much on thee schedule today. I cleaned out a portion of our garage attic and will be heading to the county dump later. Maybe a bit of practice in if its not too hot out there. Our condo association has a social event today.

Popular Post cnosil Posted April 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2023 Morning all. Watching the golf channels live at the masters and feeling a little regret since I could be walking the grounds at Augusta today. Most won’t get this but I was there in 2010 so I have seen the course before and a month or so ago I just didn’t feel motivated to go basically because I am kind of a homebody. supposed to be a beautiful day so i am going to try to get to the course after work to practice putting and short game. hope everyone has a great day.

It's a beautiful sunny day and about 10º warmer that usual when we tee off (It's below freezing now). Yesterday morning my wife and I went to the furniture store, and apparently WE bought a kitchen table. Don't know what it looks like... ordered and will be here is 2-3 weeks.

fixyurdivot Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Top of the pot everyone . During league play almost 2 months ago, with a par, par start, I hit a drive off #3 tee at Cimmaron; the conclusion of which felt like someone stuck a shank in the mid-lower right side of my back. I took a 10 on the par 5 and probably should have headed off the course, but did not. After a few days of rest and taking Aleve, it felt okay and I resumed play. Apparently "okay" means my desire to play exceeds my tolerance for discomfort. It's not a debilitating type pain, but just enough to make deep turns with the longer arrows uncomfortable. So, I reluctantly have taken this entire week off my four scheduled rounds, hoping some extended rest will help. I suppose the upside is that is muscular and not spinal. Looking at a diagram of muscles and tendons of the back is like looking at a commercial aircraft wiring diagram - lots of stuff in there. Having recently relocated, and busy with so many other things, we've not yet established doctors. One of the guys in my Thursday group recommended a PT but, guess what... I need a referral. So, yesterday I signed up with a GP but they are scheduling appointments later in the month. By the time I get to PT, it could be May . My next round is Monday. Do I test it out or give it more time? A week of no golf seems like eternity but if I keep re-injuring this could be a protracted cycle. Maybe these type injuries take much longer to heal... dunno... not dealt with this before.

The sudden pain may be described as sharp or stabbing, and is usually a result of overworked muscles.

When faced with physically demanding movements, the erector spinae compensate for weakness in the larger core muscles and lower back muscles, and are prone to muscle strain anywhere along the back as a result."

richk9holes Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I find I always bring water, but sometimes so focused on my game I won't drink that water until the end when I chug half the bottle.

When faced with physically demanding movements, the erector spinae compensate for weakness in the larger core muscles and lower back muscles, and are prone to muscle strain anywhere along the back as a result." I think the "physically demanding movements" fit my swing . I haven't tried the hot/cold treatment but will start today and through the weekend to see if that helps. Found this article interesting.

Wow!! Thanks all! I took a look at it again, and wow! It does look like a painting. Caught the morning light, I guess. @fixyurdivot, sorry to hear about your pain. What you’re describing sounds a lot like the injury that made me take a break from golf years ago. I’m no doctor, but just curious, is the pain there now? Or is it only when you swing? Does a Salonpas back patch help? I think I did massage therapy at the time to get through it.

I've not heard of a Salonpas back patch but might when I finally get into see a PT. The pain has been there on and off whether I'm swinging or not; though seems to amplify after range or play. Makes me believe I'm just re-injuring and not giving enough time to heal. I can play through it, though not the most enjoyable, and taking an Ibuprofen or Aleve helps. But doing so is likely just going to keep it chronic. 3 hours ago, richk9holes said: I find I always bring water, but sometimes so focused on my game I won't drink that water until the end when I chug half the bottle. Those are the worst days for my back pain, I find. This also goes to the "taking breaks to play a full 18 your best" idea I've seen someone mention here. I'm getting lots of advice from the locals about keeping hydrated here - especially moving into summer weather. I'm usually pretty good at doing so but will need to pay attention to this for sure. cksurfdude, berkeleybob, tony@CIC and 2 others 5 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Official Review) AI-One Milled Seven T CH (Official Review) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might think about getting Voltaren gel- it's pretty good stuff (kinda pricey though) cksurfdude, fixyurdivot, Rickp and 3 others 6 Quote ALL Paradym 10.5*(11.5*) (Hzrdus Gen 4 Silver 60/KBS TD) Apex UW 17* (Tensei AV Blue 75) Apex Pro 21 Hybrid 20*/23* (KBS Hybrid) Paradym 6-PW (Nippon NS Pro Modus 3 Tour 105X) Jaws Raw Face Chrome 48* (Nippon NS Pro Modus 3 Tour 105X) Jaws Raw Chrome Full Toe 54*/ 58* (Nippon Pro Modus 115 Wedge) Jaws Full Toe Black Wedge 64* (DG Tour Issue Spinner 115) WHOG #5 Chrome Soft X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
