I'm 43 yo, a little on the heavy side with a slight muscular build. I'm lifting the heaviest I ever have (bench 225 lbs, squat 265 lbs, deadlift 415 lbs, leg press 900 lbs) for reference.
Last summer I was diagnosed with a slight tear in my right rotator cuff, I had a right elbow issue, I've had some back issues, some neck issues and so on. Last year when I drove home after league play, I was almost in tears from the pain. I've since done 9 months of PT, started lifting weights in January of this year, getting more flexible etc but I'm not seeing any improvements on the course.
I have taken lessons with a PGA Pro and they don't see anything significantly wrong with my swing or swing fundamentals.
Am I just stuck with the swing that I have? Is this it for me? I would say I am about 90-95% pain free now.
I would say the only thing I can think of is that I am afraid to swing faster/harder in case I re-injure myself somehow. I sort of just bunt it down the fairway, keep it in play and rely on my short game.
Thoughts on next steps or other things to try?
Thanks!
