well this friday I have to have knee done again.. the right one (this is the 3rd time on this knee) tried to play today limped 16 holes then I could take it anymore. My last swing was all good till the right knee gave out on me and I hit the ground 6 inchs behind the tee, and almost fell on my a$$..

This is the suppose to be the good knee, the left one has been butchered 5 times.. Man I took this sport up because the doctor told me I couldnt play hockey anymore....

Anyway doc said it would be about 4 to 6 weeks before I can swing a club..

I think Im gonna go crazy.......

Wow I know what this is like. I just had my 2nd knee surgery last November (I just turned 18). I was to the point where I was having chronic pain and could barley walk the course. I didn't have much weight transfer at all because of my knee. I just actually got the ok recently from my doctor to start swinging the club again and start hitting golf balls. So I am planning to go to a heated driving range this weekend due to I live in Northern Ohio and it is 25 degrees and all the golf courses are closed. Depressing really but thats where my family decided to reside years ago... its out of my control. Well good luck with your knee, I kinda know how your feeling.

Had my first one done at 24, tore it wakeboarding on the lake. Still gives give me aches. Until I hurt it I thought I was superman and my Dad's had 3 surgeries on his knees for playing football.

glucosamine has been my best friend for 4 years and I often ask God why he designed the knee the way it is? Just not practicle....IMO,

Well, I hope the surgery went well. And I hope your recovery is quick enought to heel to new. There is a otc drug on the market called glucosamine. You might want to pick up a bottle at the drug store, after checking with your Dr. Glucosamine is supposed to help rebuild soft bone material like the knee joint. Comsumer reports did a study on it about 2 years back, and since they are not connected with any corp, you might want to consider their best buy. As far as going crazy from lack of golf. Try TW pga 2007. You can post your TW 2007 handicap here, and amaze people. Good luck. We are praying/hoping for you.

Yeah, a lot of pressure. Rise above it. Harness in the good energy, block out the bad. Harness energy, block bad.

i played ice hockey since i was 10 and rode motocross. I tore my ACL at 19 and so far i havent had surgery. no real problems and the doc said i could get by until it poses a problem. i will probably go in this offseason and get it done though just to prevent long term problems

I've done this a few time. Twice on my right shoulder, once on the left, once on the right knee and in Jan my left thumb. Luckily all of these except the thumb were BG (before golf). My doc told me I needed to give up bicycle road racing due to shoulders but said the golf swing would be good for me. So I use that excuse whenever my other half mentions my latest habit.

I have a feeling in about 30 years I will be doing the same thing as you, my knee is constantly filling with flud if I hit it. I injured it really bad at hockey a few times and it hasn't been the same since.

The man I play with had his knee operated on a few times, and hes a 2 handicap so hopefully it won't hurt your game too much.

Good luck.

I was playing a round with my character and several pro's (John Daly, Monty, and Natalie) at the Old Course...leading by three strokes over Daly and by five over the others...I landed myself in the Road Hole. I eventually took an 8 on that after trying un-successfully to get out...and tied with Daly going into 18.

Gawd, I thought I'd never get to say "I got stuck in the Road Hole."

      I added to total today by hopping it in on the first hole for an eagle. A short par 4, I hit 4 wood to 110. With a little breeze in my face I hit a 50 degree gap wedge to 2 feet and watched it hop into the hole for an eagle 2!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 14 (September 18).  Morning practice, despite questionable weather (it's raining).   Worked on chipping at first, including run-ups with UW and PW;  I've noticed lately some of my near-GIRs are missing forward, with nothing but grass ahead of me, but 20-30 yards to the pin.  After a few misadventures putting those lately, I wanted to at least get a feeling for what a 30-yard chip shot that doesn't have the variance of my quarter lob wedge would feel like.  I still think "putt when you can putt" is right, but... I am less sure I have a 30 yard putt in me.  Range time also, of course, same routine as the past week or so (drill, 3-4 slow shots, etc).   Did not get to the putting green as it was starting to come down a bit more. Darn, it really is raining.  And I thought today would be a perfect day to play, seeing as how it's 9-18 and all.

      Ryder Cup 2025

      By Shindig · Posted

      I'm in the same boat.  I think the last team event I got really excited for was the 2019 Presidents' Cup.  When I first got into golf, the Ryder Cup was an event (one among many) I used to plan my schedule around to make sure I'm able to watch it.   I'm not sure I realized how close it was until I saw this thread pop up.
