Foot injuries from golf?

[Bamberdele2.0]

Can only assume it’s from poor technique when using my driver, seems all the pressure and force is exerted in my big toe when pushing off through the downswing onwards.

Been on going for a while now. Can anyone relate ?

Walked off the course with a slight limp yesterday which is all around the big toe joint and by far the worst it’s been since I’ve started playing the game.

Any advice on how to sort it out would be appreciated.

Seeing a physio would be my first port of call if it doesn't settle quickly.

Have you got gout?
It nearly always affects the big toe first.

Only foot injury I've had from golf is when I knocked my putter against my ankle. Worst pain imaginable

Or the dreaded wedge to knock the sand off but only connecting right on the boney nobbly bit.

I did that once with my sand wedge!
Never done it again, i agree one of the worst pains.

to the op.
Phisio told me these new spikeless shoes can cause big toe pain because the soles are to pliable.
They also have no heel so the sole of your foot is flattened this stretches the tendon going to your big toe.
Get a diagnosis quick .
The quicker the better don’t just ignore it.
