any golfers in here? got a ? i used to play a bunch back in college. grew up playing but never serious. took the last two years off from golf (not by choice) but life got busy.
now i am swinging around the clubs again and working on my game. just trying to get a consistent swing. i have been hitting the range a few times a week the last few weeks and things are turning around for the good for me.
my question is my right hamstring is sore the next day after hitting 50-60 ***** at the range. is this a good thing? or am i over compensating? i am right handed and was only hitting sw through 5 iron.

Just a shot in the dark, but I think you might be tourquing your right leg on your up swing. As your club comes back, are you putting a lot of stress on your right hip? Regardless of what the problem is, you probably can avoid the pain by stretching before your next bucket. Put some ice on it afterwards (1st 24 hours). Good luck with the game!

its not the soreness i am worried about. its minor soreness (like i actually worked out or something).
i was just wondering if there was something i was doing improperly in my swing that would cause the right hamstring to be sore.
i do shift my weight to the right hip a bunch as a usually play with a closed stance. it helps me draw the ball. i move the weight to my right hip on the upswing. i dont have a ton of hip flexability (working on that).

I had pains in my right elbow when I started playing golf a while back.
Then I started drinking beer by alternating hands and was set!
I've been told you want to start at the range, at the bottom/top of your bag of clubs and work up or down until you feel comfortable on each one before playing a round. It seemed to help me a little, but I'm extremely lucky to get par once in a game.

Like dbmixer said it could be just cuz your not stretching enough before you start swinging, or it could be a flaw in your swing, maybe your swinging too hard. So on your follow through you are pulling you leg muscle too tight if that makes sense to you. Start out with nice easy swings .....then start to add more power as you progress this will also help you with control as well.
I don't know, that sounds kind of odd to me, I have never been sore in the legs from hitting a bucket at the range.
A lot of times at the range people try to put a lot of distance on the ball, like you said you need to find a consistant swing, take it easy at the range, find that swing you use for every club, don't try to tourque it out there. But best bet is that its from lack of play, should go away after a while.
Wow suprised at all the golfers here, maybe we should have a LS1tech golf tournament?

golf+beer=good times, especially where your beer is dressed up like this.....
I suck at driving the ball and I'm only good with irons and a sand wedge. But I usually shoot par or 1 or two over, but I play like once every two months!

With out seeing you actually swing I could't tell you if you doing somthing wrong. I'd just see how it is after a couple more times at the range. Whenever you take a break and start back up playing your going to be sore.
