I understand your motivation, but the pain in your elbow indicates that you are organizing yourself in a way that directs some of your force at your elbow instead of the ball. Find a way to direct into the ball the force that is damages your elbow and I say you'll have a better swing (in all respects) than the one that hurt your elbow.
And what about the "glorious feel"? Did you pay attention to your elbow as you swung? What's glorious about a hurt elbow?

What's so good lookin' about a corpse with a damaged elbow?
Have you tried lessons with a golf teacher? How about lessons with a Feldenkrais practitioner? I could recommend someone (a Feldenkrais practitioner) near you if you'd be interested.
