I'm a righthanded golfer, 7 handicap. 49yo, 6'2", 185lb. Very good condition. I've been working with a wonderful TGM guy, and fooing around with the stuff discussed on this board and Brian's videos.
Two days ago I was concentrating on hands forward at impact, which tends to force the rest of my body into a good position, and keeping my right heel close to the ground moving laterally, instead of spinning around my toe. Of course this puts a stretch on the left side.
Bang! A shooting pain, radiating up and down, from the "point" of my left hip.
i waited two days, got a massage, did a jacuzzi and lots of stretching, then went out to chip. Bang! there it was again.
It's been two days now, and of course I'm not hitting balls. I can feel it when I walk. It doesn't cause any difficulties, except when doing the exact moves of the golf swing I've been learning. Oddly, when I look at Brian's pic in the "position," my hip throbs with sympathetic pain.
Anyone else have an injury like this? Generally, going to a doctor would mean significant expense with no real benefit. Very frustrating; not interested in just hanging out with Phil Mickelson. Thanks.
