Anyone else experienced pain after a long lay-off?

[medwayjon]

Hello, good to be back on here after a long time away!

Decided to resume my golfing activities and had my first range session in very, very long time a couple of days ago.

Ona positive, I hit some very good shots, obviously some awful ones, but can still hit woods off the deck and long irons so there is a still a game there somewhere.

Anyway, on point, I have various muscle aches, arms, legs, abdomen, which I can only attributed to the golf swing, has anyone else suffered various aches after hitting 200 or so balls after not using the muscles in the way golf requires following a lay-off?

Im hoping the muscle memory returns quickly, and that come the spring, I will be fully up to speed and producing some good golf.

Thanks!

I'd say it's normal mate.
Take playing football, have a lay off and you ache after the first couple of games back, then after a while you're fine.

Welcome back Big Guy!!

I'd be surprised if you didn't feel something after a long lay-off
Take it steady and it'll be easier.

Good to see you back!

Bound to be some aches and pains after a lay off I'd say. With an arthritic back I have to hit fairly regularly or the back gets pretty stiff

Always remember when you play golf you tend to use muscles that you do not usually use often. The ones you do use often you start moving them in ways they do not normally operate.

perfectly normal, day 2 is worse!

same as if you went to the gym after a long lay off.

Now get back out there soldier and give me 200 more!!

Thanks for the replies!

Practise session tomorrow so hopefully the after-effects will be lessened

Good to see you back here matey. Maybe you've sub-consciously learned to hit it properly after the lay-off and the muscles don't like it!!! Whatever, keep doing it and be good to catch up with you for a game again
