Wearing compression sleeves is probably not new for quite a few golfers but I was not one of them. I used to think that it was primarily for protection from the sun and I could never get a sleeve that was a comfortable fit. Long story short I never really considered wearing compression sleeves all these years.
Until now ...
After reading that wearing compression sleeves aid in recovery from exercise I decided to try them after getting a pair that fit. I walk 18 holes on Saturdays and usually struggle with fatigue on the last couple of holes. I didn't notice it then but I definitely felt a lot better this time. Looking back I had an excellent round with my driver which usually is the first club to suffer once I get tired. The best part was how much better I felt after returning home. I just seemed to feel much less tired and sore then usual.
It's just one round but I can't believe I did not try compression sleeves earlier. I am now looking at trying out compression sleeves for my legs (for calves) as well. I would like to get more information on this from others who use compression sleeves.
If you are like me and suffer soreness after a round - do consider using compression sleeves if you haven't yet.
