Vicky, thanks for the reply. I realize it's going to be difficult for you to diagnose the problem over the internet but I appreciate your efforts. Prior to the discomfort beginning, I had a bit of a flying right elbow and consequently straightening of the right wrist at the top. This tended to throw my weight forward and while my wrist would re-position itself before impact, I often was now a bit ahead of the ball with my head. I've been working very hard to keep that right wrist bent at the top which seems to also keeps my elbow down. I think I am a swinger though I'm so new to this I'm not really sure which is the best way to go. In any case I THINK I've been pulling down with the right arm "right arm swinging"? and this may have contributed to the strain on my elbow. It is certainly possible I may be gripping too tight as well. I've been trying to shorten my backswing and gripping tighter seems to help. I've been concertrating on keeping the wrists loose though.
By everyones account it seems I need to give things a rest for a little while untill the swelling goes down. Anything else you can add would be appreciated. It probably would be wise to visit with Lynn to make sure I'm working on the right things.
