hi, i am a righty and i have torn my medial meniscus on my left knee. i thought golf was for life! or free of injuries unlike other sports. is there something in my swing that could have caused this. looks like i am going to have to have surgery as i have a painful clicking now when i walk on the inside of my left knee and forget playing, too painful. if it can help someone else to avoid this, any advise would be helpful
thanks
pat

The only thing I could think of is trying to striaghten your left knee on the follow through. It seems Tiger and a lot of the newer touring pros are doing this. I think even Tiger had knee problems from doing this. Old school was to maintain some knee flex throughout the swing.
