Repeatedly swinging a golf club can lead to elbow tendonitis - when tiny tears cause inflamed tendons.

If playing golf makes your elbow throb, tendonitis may be to blame.

The Mayo Clinic offers this advice:

• Lay off golf until the pain eases. A snug forearm strap or splint may provide some relief.
• Massage the area with ice for five to eight minutes at a time, three or four times a day.
• Strengthen the wrist and forearm muscles through gentle stretches or exercises.
• Before you return to the fairway, ask a golf pro to show you the proper form. An improper technique may aggravate the problem. - (HealthDayNews)
