Brief Answer:
Blood in the urine
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You notice blood in your urine after playing golf. This needs to be investigated and the best doctor is a urologist. They can run the proper tests like a cystoscopy and CT scans of your kidneys to see why you are bleeding into your urine. The biggest concern here is the possibility of kidney tumor or cancer. It could be just prostate infection or irritation to the bladder but until you know for sure I would be tested. This is not emergent but needs to be seen soon.
