golferannasmith Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I got my wrist swollen up on Saturday. I cock up the wrists too early, which is a common culprit for many amateur golfers. Let me know what injuries you have while playing the golf. I am calling off all the amateur golfers, not the regular ones. barney_bogey 1 Quote I'm Anna Smith, and I am thrilled to welcome you to my golfing journey.

No3PuttLaLa Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Low back pain from years of having bulging discs. Golf makes it flare up. Toenail damage from walking course. No matter how they fit, somehow at end of round my toenails kill. And yes, they’re trimmed. barney_bogey 1 Quote Driver: M4 10.5* / Evenflow Blue 6.0 Stiff / Golf Pride MCC +4 Midsize Woods: M6 3W 15* / Evenflow Blue 6.0 Stiff / Golf Pride MCC +4 Midsize Hybrid: M4 Rescue 19* / KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 85g Stiff / Golf Pride MCC +4 Midsize Irons: Z585 4-AW / KBS Tour 90 - Regular +1" / Golf Pride MCC +4 Midsize Wedges: CBX - 56* & 60* / KBS Hi Rev 2.0 - Regular +1" / Golf Pride MCC +4 Midsize Putter: Sigma 2 Tyne 4 Platinum / Superstroke Pistol Ball: Project a Bag: Hoofer 14 Link to comment
TurtleHacker Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Pulled my right oblique muscle this past summer. Missed two months getting it to mend. Note to self and others, warm up before you have a go at it, especially if you are getting up in years. cdewispelare and barney_bogey 2 Quote Link to comment
DocDave Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I’ve been golfing for 52 years, and I’ve had a variety of troubles. When I was younger, I would tend to get iliotibial band syndrome on the outside of my right knee, I’m right, handed, when I would walk very hilly courses. Easy to treat with stretching right on the golf course. In more recent years, I tend to have trouble with my right oblique back muscles. Amen to warming up before playing! barney_bogey 1 Quote Ping woods and hybrids, Taylormade Stealth irons, Teardrop putter. Link to comment
william_abu Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Hey there Sorry to hear about your wrist trouble. Cocking up the wrists too early is indeed a common challenge for many of us amateurs. Besides wrist issues, golfers often face injuries like back strains, knee problems, and even elbow pain. It's crucial to focus on a proper warm-up routine, flexibility exercises, and swing mechanics to prevent these injuries. Regular check-ins with a golf pro can also help refine your technique. Remember, golf is a game of skill and finesse, not just power. Take care of your body, and here's to a swift recovery and improved swings. Quote Link to comment
TG8 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Something cool to share. my best friends dad is a chiropractor and he gave me a great tip to prevent swinging sport injuries. He said to swing the opposite way(lefty for me) every so often during a round.. don’t remember his reasoning but it helps the body somehow Quote WITB Driver: TSR4 9* - GD VF 5x FW/Hybrid: Stealth Plus 15* 3 wood | 18* 2 hybrid Irons: Mizuno MP225 4-GW - modus tour 120X Wedges: Edison 2.0 52* | 56* Putter: L.A.B.

David Leighton Reid Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 A couple of times over the past years I have been afflicted with the dreaded golf elbow in my left arm. I have tried compression wraps and ointments, but it seems resting the inflamed elbow is the best therapy.

berkeleybob Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 My most common pain has been golf elbow in my leading arm. I’ve been able to beat with a combination of a compression sleeve, anti-inflammatories, and exercises to build up my wrist strength. My worst golf injury was wrenching my back while try to get too much out of my 7-iron to reach the green. I ended up resting it for quite a while and getting a little physical therapy. I try to make it a habit of stretching arm and back and waist muscles before getting started with a round or practice session.

Fatshot Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I'm 78 and have played since I was about 12 years old or so, so I've had my share of golf-related issues.....My low back used to be a real source of trouble to me, in fact it went out on me while playing golf one time and it took about 4 weeks and numerous trips to the chiropractor, plus ice, heat and rest before I could even swing a club again. Since then, I have used an inversion table pretty regularly, and that with an occasional trip to the chiropractor keeps the back trouble at bay. I started wearing a compression sleeve on my knee last year for "preventative maintenance" due to slight soreness....that seems to help. But starting last season, I'm experiencing a sore left shoulder. I think it's caused by my using an "Orange Whip," the weighted practice club with the extra-whippy shaft. My "theory" is that the extreme flexibility of the shaft causes the weight on the end to exert a ton of pressure on the joints as I swing through. I've stopped using it, and that provides some relief, but since it's winter, I haven't swung the Whip in at least two months, and the shoulder is still kind of sore. I just hit balls yesterday (we're down in Florida right now), and I can feel the shoulder today, so that tells me that there's still some irritation there. I suppose I should have it checked out when I get home. Anybody else dealing with a similar shoulder problem.....??

GeorgeCole Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) The repetitive nature of the golf swing can contribute to rotator cuff injuries, affecting the muscles and tendons around the shoulder joint. you can learn more about by click this app. Edited January 25 by GeorgeCole Quote Link to comment
cdewispelare Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Last week, I pulled my left oblique while pitching in a baseball game (I'm getting too old [33] for this sh!t). Anybody have experience with the injury and any sort of timeline with exercises to get back on the course? I'm a righty and swinging in the golf plane isn't too bad (baseball swing on an elevated plane is a no go right now), I just know that if I get to swinging at a ball I'd overdo it and re-injure myself.

Brooky03 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Finger blisters from incorrect grip pressure, especially early in the season. Other than that, I've only aggravated injuries from something else, rather than actually injuring myself on the golf course. Quote Link to comment
