I can lift my left arm straight to the ceiling and rotate 360 degrees but do feel some discomfort. No pain when swing a golf club. From what I've read it seems unlikely that I've experienced a serious tear but I do wish this d***ed thing would go away.
What excercises/stretches do you think would help??

All friendly advices are good (but not necessarily competent!!!)
So let me give you a friendly advice: pain is ALWAYS an alarm signal, and try to overcome this fact with painkillers (including cortisone) is not a good idea.
A lot of publications prove that a good diagnosis (doctor's job) is the first point.
Physiotherapy is very effective, specially in shoulder's problems (as writen by Vickie).
I paid THE price when using steroids infiltrations for an elbow problem, just to relieve pain and continue to play golf...
So be confident with a good medical advice, and don't forget to RESPECT YOUR BODY SIGNALS
