Will Zalatoris Done for the Year - Microdiscectomy


Recommended Posts

  • Administrator

Emphasis added (mine):

After careful consideration and seeking multiple medical opinions, I underwent a successful microdiscectomy on Saturday. As much as I hate not being able to play the rest of this season, I am happy that I am already seeing the benefits of the procedure. Playing and living in pain is not fun. I look forward to making a full recovery and seeing everyone in the fall. Thank you to Dr. Michael Duffy, Dr. Tom Kelton, and their respective teams for getting me fixed. And, of course, thank you to everyone for the support and the messages. I look forward to getting back to 100%.

Really tough for the kid. Crazy he's only 26.

 

I dunno, I don't know if we want be blaming his swing, but... that looks mildly stressful on the lower back. 

Other players who underwent microdiscectomies: 

Lanto Griffin

Kevin Chappell

Graham DeLaet

Tiger Woods (he's had this surgery four times, mostly during 2014-15 I believe)

Again, sorry if it's off-base blaming his golf swing since those names above don't do anything particularly crazy in their motion relative to other tour guys, so it could just be a genetic thing, but damn. He's 26 and that's a lot of hip rotation combined with a lot of right-side bend.

Get well soon, Willy Z!

    • Hi I noticed you had a problem with your s3 I know it's an old topic but mine has developed exactly same problem did you find out exactly the cause I've tried new switch but problem still exists.
    • Wow! Do you know me? All of the above changed (new group, started weightlifting, family drama, started my own business) I got to 12 about 10 months ago and stopped lessons 4 months ago I just realized it has only been about the score (and taking notes of every shot) Yeah, a task. I dragged myself to the course to complete the 'task' I think I need a break followed by a round without scorecard, play alone and meet new people, and just enjoy the game. I have been on a relentless pursuit of an unrealistic score and handicap that I completely forgot the friends and fun part of the journey. Thanks for your comment.
    • Day 210: did mirror work while watching a movie. Working on earlier wrist hinge in the backswing. Seems like I need to feel it almost on the takeaway for it to work.
