Do you let injuries stop you playing?

You're such a trooper:thup:

I did think you may have had a sore neck also, that would explain the need to keep it warm

People in glass houses shouldn't wear winter mitts!!!!!!!! :rofl:

I am thinking I should find some real men to play with in the future. When's Smiffy coming out of hibernation ?

Hmm, i used to play with an older guy who made a pair of gaeters out of a pair of womans knee boots..Chopped the foot bit off, and stitched some elastic on..Enuff said eh.....

I normally play through, unless it's back related, when I can't.

I am a bit better today, so iam going to try playing, after a good warm up first. Its probably a bad idea, but I am bored of not playing, when everyone else is!

What can go wrong?

Well, it didn't work out quite as I'd planned. I hit a few in the indoor nets, but a half swing was about the best I could manage. A few pitches on the practice chipping green, and it was all down hill from there. Putting wasn't great either.

So..... I'm setting the alarm for tomorrows swindle.

Idiot.

Apart from a bit of golfers elbow which I've treated with ibuprofen and ice I've been relatively injury free. That said I'm struggling lately with a large number of D&V type illnesses and a lot of colds which have meant I've had to pull out of some comps and miss the weekend roll ups

 

[palindromicbob]

If it is an injury that is exasperated by play then I hold back. Otherwise I'll try and play through it in a haze of painkillers.

For injury or illness to keep me from playing there needs to be a chance of amputation or impending death.....

If I can walk round and swing a club - game on

To be honest there's always an ache or pain somewhere, normally knees or ankles - my right ankle has hurt for the last 10 years since I smashed it. If I didn't play because of pain I'd never get the clubs out.

My back is stiff from playing yesterday but if the rain clears and I get a chance to get out this afternoon I will. Generally play through the pain unless my back seizes up and then have to rest.

 

[USER1999]

Well it wasn't too bad. Three shanks weren't good, but I played ok. It's odd hitting punched 4 irons from 150, but heck, it worked. Club selection is all guess work, as I have no idea how far a 1/2 swing with any given club will go, but I'll settle for 31 points in the swindle.

Is my back ok? I have no idea, I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

 

[Nashy]

I didn't used to let it stop me. I have problems with my back these days and when its bad I cannot turn so even trying to play golf is pointless. I havent bit a ball in 3 weeks and it will be next week until I try and play again.

I've been giving this a lot of thought lately. Last year I played quite a bit with a strain in the back of my right hand. It was tough going and really messed me up at times. I won't be doing that again. However, recently I developed a cyst on my neck that became infected and ridiculously sore. I played three times with this monstrosity growing out of me and managed to play rather well! I think it was having to slow everything down and not being able to rotate my neck to see how far I was about to duff it!
