To be honest this is the first time it has flared up. I've been playing golf every day for the last 10 days or so as I've been playing a big AM competition over in the US, so I would imagine it's likely an overuse injury and probably indicating my grip pressure has got a touch on the high side...

If distance isn't an issue and you're struggling for accuracy with the big stick, a mini driver might be a good option, worth trying!

I got some irritation in the tendon of my left ring finger when I swapped back from midsize to regular in my woods, I'd definitely upsize rather than go the tape route which will likely have the opposite effect. Probably stating the obvious, but get a freezable hand glove thing from Amazon...

Have you thought about getting a mini driver instead?

This year we've got 3 trips to Florida and 1 to Palm Springs. All jammed in the winter months when it's likely to be raining in England.... I won't review every place I've played but to highlight a couple; Best Value for money - West Cliffs Portugal (50 Euros a round when I went) Honorable...

This is a perfect example of not understanding the difference between a training session and playing on a course. I guarantee you on a driving range with a trackman behind them, any pro on tour can change any of the above, most decent amateurs can too. On the course it's totally different. I'm...

Your best bet when you start is probably to try and find a decent set of used irons that are around 5-10 years old for 200-400 quid. Don't worry about the woods for the time being, if you want to play swell as practice try and join a fairly short course (under 6000 yards) and that'll give you...

A good coach will be able to adapt to who they have infront of them. Some people (I include myself here) benefit strongly from a technical understanding of what certain 'feels' do by seeing the data. After using this method with my coach for 2 years I can now modify my path, club face, and...

Think it's very course dependant. The country club where I usually play you will see a couple of gators per round at least. We frequently get them on the banks by the water, and obviously a lot more in the water that you don't see.

If you're in the Disney area skip the Disney courses and play the Waldorf Astoria instead, completely different league. Shingle Creek is within 30 mins and worth a visit, Hawks landing is another good one.

About to go on the second golf holiday of the year to Florida, golfing in Naples this time then watching the Players at Sawgrass. Later in the year a week in Palm Springs and another week in Naples FL.

How on earth did you play with a torn intercostal? I could hardly take a full breath in let alone swing a golf club when I did mine.....

Wise man, self preservation 😂

Ouch! Wishing you the best with the ongoing recovery.... My first one was almost immediately after I turned 30, everything seemed to be made out of rubber up until that point 😂

How is everyone doing on the golf injury front? And any tips on how to manage the inevitable tweaks during the cold weather? My first injury came in November 2023 when I strained a Rhomboid (sleeping on a sofa after a heavy night), since then it has been something of a downhill spiral. Last 6...
