About two years ago I developed a painful left shoulder which was sufficiently sore for me to seek medical advice.  After an MRI scan and some painful cortisone injections nothing was properly diagnosed and I was told I would need an exploratory operation If I wanted to cure it.  It was at about this time, that together with work commitments and more time spent playing golf,  I stopped going to the gym.

Without really being conscious of it I realised the other day that the soreness had gone and I was probably as injury free as I’ve been for a long time.  I can only put the shoulder injury down to straining at the gym and I feel a lot happier in myself, now that I’m doing something more productive like playing golf, rather than being a gym rat.

This leads me on nicely to a website I came across, dedicated to Golf Health and Fitness. The site is called golfersmd and it carries the strap line - Health=Performance.  The site offers a wealth of information on golf related injuries with advice on prevention and cure.  There are articles on Exercises for Golf and developing strength and flexibility.  For anyone who might be worried about a golf, or indeed any sport related injury, then it would be a useful port of call.

Lastly, Alpha Golf has sent me their C830.4 Driver to have a swing and review.  The interesting feature of this Club is that is has interchangeable shafts and comes supplied with 3 of varying flex.  I’m looking forward to finding out which flex suits my game best and effectively custom fitting my own Driver.  I’ll let you know the results in a couple of weeks time.
