Golf & Climbing Advice
May 18, 2016, 05:00:31 pm
Right, I know I will probably get laughed out of the forums for this Q but...  :oops:

Anyone have an experience of climbing and golf?

I have ongoing shoulder issues (not certain what is it) & long story short, I was climbing 4 days a week then doing my antag exercises on the other 3 days and getting injured.

http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,26866.0.html

I have stopped this and have been doing the antag on my climbing days, to give my body total rest 2-3 days a week

Does anyone know if golf harms the shoulder in a similar way to climbing? Could golf strengthen my shoulder as a different movement to climbing?
Basically, if I play a bit of golf on my rest days, will it fuck my shoulder up more?

Or anyone fancy a go???

I used to play a moderate amount of golf as a teenager and occassionally since.
Last time I played, my shoulders would click every time I swung, nothing hurt. It just freaked me out a little :)
Can't see much strength coming from golf though...

I used to have a 11 plate 1.6Tdi. You could get a decent number of pads in the back...

I'm no Physio but I would suspect it isn't rocket science to say if you have on going shoulder issues wildly swinging a golf club is hardly rehab.

Yeah, I was going to say that a Golf is ok as long as it's a GTI.
However I'd always prefer the Lancia Delta Integrale, as in The Real Thing (also ask Jerry...)

But, wildly swinging in the Golf Club; may land you in rehab.
