Pain
The short version

Load the tendon slowly, every day. Three sets of 15 eccentric reps for 6 to 12 weeks, and a physio if nothing moves by week 4.

Golfer's elbow exercises: 5 slow moves, plus when to keep playing

Golfer's elbow is an overloaded tendon, and the small studies we have point to slow daily loading. Tyler et al. (2014) saw disability scores fall from 34.7 to 7.9 after adding one eccentric drill to standard care.

Three rabbit holes worth going down.

The three topics we come back to most. Each link opens every post in that category.

Pillar 01

The pain pillar.

Low back, hips, and the mid-back. What a mid-round twinge usually is, and what to do about it from the cart.

Pillar 02

The distance pillar.

Where clubhead speed comes from, why hip and shoulder separation shrinks after 45, and the drills that bring it back.

Pillar 03

The warm-up pillar.

What a real warm-up does to cold tissue, and a 7-minute version you can run in the parking lot.

Our editorial rules.

  • We won't oversell.

    If a stretch isn't going to fix your slice, we'll tell you. If you need a physio, we'll tell you that too.

  • We won't borrow from gym culture.

    Generic core workouts didn't help your swing. We don't pretend they will.

  • We write for the body you have today.

    The guides assume a golfer over 45 with a real life, sore mornings, and 40 minutes a week, not 10 hours in a gym.
