Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,
Given the correlation with playing golf, which you say you don't do a lot of, you might have a mild muscle strain which hurts more when gas moves through your colon.
Or, if you have been eating differently, you might have a bit of altered bowel function right now.
Either way, as gas seems to make it worse, and you are having more gas, consider taking simethicone (Gas X) to break up the gas, and see if that helps.
