Hey there Danny boy,

I’m a huge believer in what you’re trying to do. Been an avid golfer since grade school. Healing, fitness, and testing human potential have also been other passions of mine.

Recently listened to a podcast by Joe Rogan, featuring Dr Rhonda Patrick. He spoke about a torn rotator cuff. He went to a place in vegas called Total sports medicine, who implemented a stem cell injection from this stem cell research lab called Applied Biologics. Joe’s exact words were “healed like wolverine”. Maybe worth a try. God knows I’ve tried getting my dad to see about it. (Back injury that has killed his golf game).

Hello,
I have read bits about your plan to play golf “professionally,” love the intent. Though I feel you have made it harder than what it is for yourself. The effort and dedication is there 100%. I see where you hit your milestone is how you process everything and that is what is conflicting. Your end result is not clear thus that is what thwarts action. Your back injury is a reflection of a swing that is probably not right for your body type. I am about same in structure and size though i use the lot of my lower half in my swing. A-lot of knowledge about the golf swing is out now compared to when you started this project. Check out instagram, swing coaches make there living by posting on there.

I started playing golf about 8 months ago, former baseball player though that has nothing to do with how well I can swing. Or how well I can play the game for me it is how I process everything mentally.

Now on to the mental part, I am “Golf Mentalist” so i can break down and separate the use less thought from conflicting thought/belief to have peace and freedom while I perform. Im sure I can help you process now to make your game even better than what it was.

Golf is fun, it breaks people of fragile mind and character. Hope you change your swing and refine your body so that you can keep pursuing the game that has evolved you.

Dan – Stick with it, buddy! I’m going to second the recommendation to try Stronglifts 5×5. I’ve had back issues off and on since my early twenties and my back never felt better than when I was recently on the Stronglifts program. Deadlifts became my favorite exercise–they work wonders. I’m convinced they’re the absolute best exercise anybody can do as they activate more muscles than anything else.

It’s kind of counter-intuitive, but when you perform compound movements, lift big and do fewer reps (like in Stronglifts or Rippetoe’s programs), you’re actually decreasing your risk of injury.

It only takes 10 minutes every 2 days.

Dan,

ABSOLUTELY do some weight lifting like 2nd poster recommended.

I used to have back problems but doing 2 months of deadlifting made a huge difference!

I recommend you focus on squats (strong squats equals strong deadlifts, but not the other way). If you do squats every 2 days you’ll feel great within 2 months. Just do 1 warmup set of 5, and then 2 sets of 5. Simple progression – increase weight by 10-20 lbs every session. Drop it down to what it was 4-5 sessions ago when you reach near your max, and repeat increasing it again.

In a way, this might be a small addendum to the 10,000 hours theory. Almost all the great performers were doing their trade when they were kids. Maybe injuries happen around the halfway mark, and a person has to be young to heal their way through them and make it to 10,000…

Regardless, you have already proved one thing to me. Expertise in ANYTHING is only 5 years away. Maybe not “best in the world”, but easily top 10%. That’s extremely empowering. In 5 years I could be speaking Russian fluently, or doing flips on a snowboard, or rocking an electric guitar. It really is a real life example of “anything is possible.”

Take the break. Heal your back. Maybe you’ll continue, maybe you won’t. You’ve already succeeded as far as I’m concerned.
