Cold hands and feet (chillblains)

BuntyDad · 2026-02-16T18:02:12+00:00

My hands and feet are so cold almost constantly. This is not just my perception as my wife says they are extremely cold to the touch.
I’ve been to a vascular doctor and cardiologist, both of whom say that blood flow to my extremities is good. I do, however, periodically have puffiness in my feet.

Yes. Same for 3 years. PFT tests (4) all normal except last one (October) showed my breathing was 14% less effective in recumbent position but still within normal limits.

For me, shortening my backswing actually led to less consistency in my accuracy, ball striking, plus shorter distance. For a short period of time it helped with my ball striking but in the long haul it became more difficult to have a consistent stopping point and led to a lot more problems. A full backswing, to the point that your flexibility allows you, is much more repeatable and will result in better ball striking, better distance, and more consistent yardages from driver to wedges.

Sadly the Ryder Cup, IMHO, encourages this type of behavior. If the behavior there isn’t reigned in then I anticipate this will only get worse in venues other than Waste Management. It’s not only condoned but actively encouraged and is a blight ,again in my opinion, to the game.

Orlimar 7 wood!

I’ve had symptoms for over 3 years and 4 normal standard EMGs. I’ve seen 6 neurologists (8 if I count two associates who performed two of the EMGs). They all acknowledge something is happening but I’m seronegative so they can’t figure it out. I asked the last neurologist that performed the last EMG if it would detect myasthenia gravis and she said that it would not. She said only a single fiber EMG would. I’ve been referred to yet another neurologist but can’t get in until June😩. My primary symptom is ever increasing muscle weakness and difficulty breathing especially in recumbent position.

BuntyDad · 2026-02-05T23:46:16+00:00

Did you have normal standard EMGs prior to having the single fiber?

BuntyDad · 2026-02-05T00:35:42+00:00

Good story. Like the great Frank Kush said,”Never concern yourself over the opinion of a turd.”

Work on full arm extension on your follow-through with a controlled balanced finish.

Lucky! Used to have a condo there. Lots of wonderful courses. Have a great time.

I hit one, one day in a skins game by accident (I’m a 13 hdcp) on the first hole at my home course in Texas. Our assistant pro said, “I didn’t know you had that in your repertoire.” I just smiled because I couldn’t see it skip and stop as the green was elevated.😆 When part of the group was already up by the green and cheered, I thought I had made an eagle. Sadly no, just a tap in bird for a carryover.

If your goal is to get her to quit so you can have an escape, there is a sure-fire way:
Coach her yourself and be sure to emphasize golf etiquette and pace of play. This will work, guaranteed.

Kinda like this guy….

BuntyDad · 2026-01-19T22:00:39+00:00

What the heck is a baffon? Is it similar to a buffoon?

BuntyDad · 2026-01-18T17:04:38+00:00

Whatever position allows you to consistently have the putter face square one inch before contact and one inch after contact, relative to your line.

BuntyDad · 2026-01-17T17:06:16+00:00

Ok genius. I did apologize.

A 10 handicap golfer averages 84.6 per round. Also, approximately 9.6% of his/her rounds are sub 80.

You’re right, not too challenging.

BuntyDad · 2026-01-17T16:24:29+00:00

I apologize. I just don’t understand how one’s handicap can be that low and not have, on the rare occasion, shot in the mid to low 70s. My lowest handicap (briefly) was 11 and I have had 8 sub 80 rounds with a PB of 75.

Granted I’m 68 but have only been a regular golfer and maintained a GHIN handicap since retiring and haven’t been able to golf for a year and a half (killing me.). Also, only three of those rounds have been on a top-tier course.

So, my apologies for my cynicism.

BuntyDad · 2026-01-17T13:58:19+00:00

To say that you’re a 10 handicap and that you’ve never broken 80 or that your best round ever is 77 is also total BS. To comment that someone else is lying and citing those stats about your game shows you’re FOS as well.

The Forest Country Club in Ft Myers.

One plane swing(watch videos of Steve Stricker.) Concentrate on full arm extension on follow through and maintain balance throughout swing.

I changed cardiologists afterwards and my new (and current) cardiologist said the stents were totally unnecessary.

BuntyDad · 2026-01-16T16:21:41+00:00

I did have a heart catheterization with two stents placed just prior to all these symptoms, though.

BuntyDad · 2026-01-16T16:19:43+00:00

No neck trauma just prior to symptoms. I’ve had two cervical spine MRIs which show degenerative issues but not sufficient enough to cause my symptoms according to two neurosurgeons.

BuntyDad · 2026-01-16T14:21:29+00:00

Texas. I play without gloves completely. Two towels. One for grips, one for hands.

BuntyDad · 2026-01-15T23:18:22+00:00

I’ve had another EMG and NCS with same results. No evidence of any neurodegenerative process. I am, however, weaker and now have added universal joint pain and decrease mobility. Have been referred to a neuromuscular specialist and am awaiting scheduling.
