You'd look a right knob with shoes on your chin. How do you warm up your chin? Lean your face on the radiator.
You don't sound like a real doctor.

I have suffered for some time with shin splints and a physio suggested that it was mainly to do with tight calf muscles. The shorter calves put extra strain on the shin muscles. If you're flexible enough to touch your toes, then spend 5 minutes morning and evening, sitting down, legs straight to stretch the calves. If you cant touch them, use a belt around them.
Sounds daft I know but it definitely helps.

Try a seated stretch.
Sit on a chair and place one foot slightly under the chair with the top of the foot resting against the floor so your thigh is at a 45 degree angle between the chair and the floor. Gently push down on the thigh for between 10 and 30 seconds. Repeat with the other foot.
If you have a desk job you can do this inteittently throughout the day.

Years ago I thought I had shin splints, but it turned out to the patellar tendonitis. Apparently they are quite similar. Anyway, I was told to get some proper running trainers and keep off pavements for a while. When I'd recovered, I also ran for ages with a knee-strap, probably longer than I needed to. But I didn't want to run without it, just in case the problems started again.
Swimming might be an option, exercise-wise?
Good luck, snook.
Give up golf, Snook. It's the only solution.

Chin Splints, comedy genius, that has made me smile this morning. 
DO NOT do impact exercise that could stress you shins out.
I recently had to have treatment for shin splints and I would not wish the treatment it on my worst enemy. (Mine weren't even that bad) If its get really really bad it can require an opporation to fix.
My advice is see a sports therapist. If you feel you can train through it you seem to have noticed it early. I had a 15 min massage (I use that term loosely) once a week for about 6 weeks This broke down the nots and and the stress in the muscles surrounding the shin. It involved a lot of rest and strenghening work. But I am right as reign now.

Do some core exercises, a lot of injuries in the lower extremities can be dealt with by strengthening your core muscles. Best exercises if possible would be planks and balancing exercises as these will strengthen up your inner core muscles.

Stop running. Do other cardio or weights.
