What to notice
Your practice swing workload and walking workload are separate. Someone comfortable at the range may still find a hilly walking course unfamiliar.
Practical next steps
- Choose footwear you have already tested on a comfortable walk.
- Plan water, breaks and a carrying or trolley option appropriate to your ability.
- Afterwards, check feet for rubbing and distinguish a focal painful spot from general leg tiredness.
When to get help
Arrange assessment for persistent or worsening pain, swelling or difficulty using the area normally. After an injury, seek urgent help for severe pain, deformity, numbness or inability to bear weight.
