Scratch that folks.

Just came home from my physical and was diagnosed with a hernia. I'll be going to another doctor friday to check it out further. As for now, I can't play any golf and I can't work at all (darn that's just too bad...... well the golf part is anyway...)

If you wanted to keep up with this golf season blog, I'll try and keep everyone posted to all the goings-on this season.



Hope everyone's drives are straight, and if you must shank it, hit someone you hate.

That sucks, I have been there. My junior year of High School I found out I had a hernia just before our season started. I somehow managed to play through it though. A mixture of pain relievers, compression shorts, soft swings and a very uncomfortable hernia belt got me through it. Had surgery the week after our district tournament, and was back on the course 3 weeks after.

Sorry to hear that, man. Did he say what type it was (probably a sports or inguinal hernia)? Do you actually feel any pain? Either way, assuming the diagnosis is correct, I believe surgery is about the only option. If so, I think the recovery time is typically 6-8 weeks. But, I'm not a doctor and they may have different treatments nowadays. Maybe the coach will hold a roster spot for you.

Wishing you the best of luck...

Get well soon. I just tweaked my back myself. It's the same muscle in my back that cost me 6 months in 2009. I'm pretty down right now, but I doubt I'm out longer than 2 months honestly. It doesn't feel nearly as bad. Anyway, as someone who has dealt with injuries, you just gotta stay patient, catch up on your reading, and do your best to stay positive.

Thank you sirs. The doctor who gave me my physical (I did get a woman doctor ;)) checked me out and when I coughed she said "Oh.... cough again?" and when I did she said "Looks like you have a hernia...". My dad was diagnosed with his hernia by the same doctor a few years ago and has had nothing wrong with it. I'm hoping it's very minor like his, and I can continue golfing. Thanks for your concern guys!

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
    • No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously?? 
    • I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
