Playing today, hit a drive on the 5th and felt my back twinge. Kept on playing and kept on feeling the twinges. Was having to lean on my putter when picking the ball up.
Managed to complete the round and didn't feel too bad, but totally seized up during the 20 minute drive home, and can hardly stand up straight now.
I do have a bit of a history of back problems - ended up having surgery to remove one disc and shave another a few years ago - but it's been fine recently.
Am now thinking I should have walked off when I first felt it. It was a 3 ball so I wouldn't have left anyone in the lurch, but walking off does seem like a bit of a wussy over-reaction to me unless you have broken your arm or something like that!
