Since your ankle joints and the respective response from the shins and the feet bones are critical to setting up your whole drive this is a very valuable post BirdieMan so I am finally readdressing your post.
Are you still dealing with issues?
I have actually adapted some of my first sport protocols from snow skiing to the golf actions. I will add a caviet here: it all depends on your alignment and natural mechanics; hitter, swinger, hip driver, inappropriate elbow driver and then there's age that is less about your chronological age than your biological, functional age.
Increasing the circular range of motion in your ankles will absolutely absolve any symptoms you experience. This includes ankle exercises and also jumping exercises where you try to hold your atlas (the cervical vertebrae your head sits on) stationary and move your level hips from side to side.
Remember that I believe that if you raise your threshhold of function above the requirements of your sport . . . you aleviate the stresses that dis-stress the joints involved.
