Golf Friends that have injuries flare up when they’re playing bad.

I feel like we all have those friends… they start hitting it crooked and all of a sudden their shoulder or back is plaguing them that day. Am I the only one that has these buddies? lol

I just play like shite all the time to avoid any confusion about my injuries!

On course injuries actually improve my ball striking. Makes me a smoother swinger

Sounds like a regular round of golf to me. Seems like every round something hinders me. Also the fact that most courses run the mowers the wrong way so the grain is in the opposite direction and they have too many trees in the way.

Yep, got a buddy that is no matter wat going to start talking about his back pain while warming up so when he starts to hit them sideways it's because his back is killing him. He'll stretch and hold his back after most tee shots.
I've had two back surgeries so I can sympathize with those that have back pain, I deal with it daily. He only seems to have it on the golf course.

I'm that guy. My L4 and L5 are squished like a beer can, and I'm just delaying surgery as long as I can. All days it hurts, but some are worse than others. When I make a bad swing it really lights me up. So yea, when I'm playing bad I start bitching about my back

yes, beware of the injured golfer
I'm post microdiscectomy L5-S1
Very little effect from the swing. It's making myself execute a full swing knowing that the other side of the disc can herniate at any given moment
Alcohol is essential

When you’re old, all the guys you play with are as old or older, everyone finishing 18 is a bonus.

Sometimes my back does flare up and I in turn play like shite. I finish the round every time tho
