I have dusted off the TW13 myself... Sux.

I know you use you hands a lot when you work. Are you keeping the wrist relatively immobilized when not working?

Hey, glad to see your playing a few holes without too much discomfort. Keep up the good work. I'm taking a break for maybe a month based on my two month follow up exam yesterday. Doc says steady im

I pretty much work right handed and can only use left in a fist. I wear the brace 85% of the day that keeps it immobile. The weekend, I took it off to let it function some but didn't use it. I wear the brace 100% of the time at work. It's a good brace. X-ray was negative so if it's still hurting in a few more weeks I may get a catscan.

Good luck. I hope it heals fast for you.

old ankle injury acting up, ortho doc says surgery will not do anything.  take pain meds about an hour before Tee time and halfway through.  Not the best scenario, but what the H, it works, I get out there.  Also when I ride my bike.  Wear brace when working out.

Thanks. I just got the news that my membership is pushed over until next year. That takes a lot of stress off me but I am still not happy with the progress.

Pulled my left rhomboid last weekend teeing off on the 6th hole. Finished the round anyway and now I am sitting it out till it feels better. I am tempted to go to the range tomorrow if it feels a bit better but I might not risk it and just bring my putter and force myself to practice putting for a while.

90% sure it is a tfcc tear... Golf is dead to me now... I'm on early winter mode where I don't even want to watch the golf channel. Plus the Grand Slam hangover is still fresh sapping my golf interests even more. I told my girlfriend that I don't want to watch the golf channel anymore and she said that she's worried about me. :-P

5 days ago wrist started hurting almost as bad as the original injury....2 days ago it suddenly stopped hurting... It still feels weak and not the same function wise but I am stymied on what is going on. One minute super painful and depressing, The next, no discomfort at all... Still waiting to play golf though....

thanks (i think)...    :)

not sure yet...  going through various "elimination tests"...  sooner or later they will figure out why...   my diagnosis of "i'm old" doesn't seem to satisfy them...  :)

all i can say is it sucks...   i am VERY tired of crutches...

Crutches are horrible, especially when you are in college...

I haven't played in 2 weeks and it will probably be another before I'm back on the course. My 1 year old accidently stepped on my balls. Ultrasound showed no significant damage but I've been advised to take it easy for a bit and I'm still in pain.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      My Swing (billchao)

      By klineka ·

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
