When Your Elbow Screams After a Nice Swing
I was hitting balls on my own after work thinking a little extra practice would sharpen my swing but by the third session I started feeling an annoying ache deep inside my elbow.

I went down the same path last winter when indoor sessions replaced outdoor practice because of weather, and the difference surprised me more than I expected. My forearm started feeling tight after even short swings and after a few times my elbow felt raw on the inside where the tendons attach — classic sign of overuse. I dug around and read a guide labeled as golf simulator elbow pain and it explained that repeating the same motion with too much grip pressure often triggers tendon irritation. I switched up my routine completely: now I warm up with light stretches and wrist rotations before swinging, I loosen my grip so I’m not squeezing the club like it owes me money, and I shortened my sessions to avoid overloading the joint. I also added gentle forearm strengthening exercises — nothing heavy, just simple resistance band rotations — and I alternate sessions so the muscles get rest days. It took a few weeks of patience but gradually the ache faded and I started swinging again without wincing. I definitely learned the hard way that pushing through discomfort usually makes things worse rather than better. Now I’m careful about form, grip, and frequency, and I think that’s more important than just pounding through balls to rack up numbers.
