Been playing "going on" eight months now and am making some progress although I still have a long ways to go in developing a consistent swing. Anyway, of late, I have been working on my downswing (trying to swing with my body as opposed to my arms). Also,of late, my left arm---between the elbow and wrist--has begun to hurt during and after a round of say 50 balls or so at the practice range. This pain is new and I suspect that maybe its a sign of something, that perhaps, I am doing incorrectly in my swing. Anybody else experience this pain in the lower arm? What am i doing wrong? Any help or advice is appreciated.

I've gotten pain in both forearms from time to time, but it always goes away fairly quickly. I always assumed it was from straining to hit out of rough or something like that. If the pain has lasted for awhile, I'd be worried too.

You probably have tendonitis - golfer's elbow which is similar to tennis elbow and which is easy to get if you hit lots of balls especially off mats. The best cure is rest otherwise it can become chronic.

BTW golf is supposed to hurt but not physically

Probably have this ... (outside part of elbow hurts)
