In an earlier post, I mentioned that I was preparing for winter golf in Pinehurst. To be a little more specific, I developed some shoulder problems in both rotator cuffs which caused tendinitis and calcium deposits. I never felt that the problem was interfering with my golf swing, however I always had pain if I tried to throw overhand such as throwing a baseball. After getting the diagnosis, and starting some physical therapy, I have experienced an amazing recovery. Although it was supplemented with some Cortizone shots to get started, the exercise program has been a tremendous success. I would highly recommend that anyone with any shoulder pain, check out the cause and hopefully it won’t be anything more serious than what some physical therapy could cure. Today, for the first time, I started swinging my golf club and realized that my swing has more flexibility and no pain whatsoever. I was just stubborn about having my shoulders looked at and realize now that I should’ve done it much sooner. With all that said, this average golfer is looking forward to getting back out on the links in Pinehurst and my first tee-time should be the week of Christmas. Happy golfing from this average golfer!
