Quote:

Spanish golfer Miguel Angel Jimenez has broken his right shinbone and will be sidelined for up to five months.

Jimenez said in a statement Sunday that he had surgery on his leg after injuring it while skiing Saturday. Jimenez says ''I was playing well, but you have to take life as it comes.''

Major bummer ... hope he comes back strong.

I can't find any, so forced to use ones that seem to love all the above.

He was probably jumping out of a helicopter, broke his leg, but managed to avoid an avalanche with his mad skiing skills while simultaneously saving the lives of his skiing buddies.

I can only assume he saved his muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the accident thanks to his rigorous pre-skiing stretching. [VIDEO]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PuO3y1DopM[/VIDEO]

Classic!

Working out might be overrated by some, but his ability to bounce back will depend on how hard he works in the gym rehabbing the injury. If done right, we might see him next year competing on the euro tour. Im a fan a Miguel; however, i cant see him spending much time doing the dirty work to get back to form. He's almost 50, what more can he accomplish that he hasnt tried in the last 20+ years.

i see lots of cigars and scotch on the rocks in the " mechanics' future.

Lucky guy!

I didn't think you break your leg on the bunny trail.  Tough break (no pun intended) for him, this could be the end of his pro career.  It's going to take a lot of hard work on his part to rehab and get back to pro form in the next year.  He doesn't appear to be a gym rat so preventing atrophy in all his muscles will be his biggest challenge.

Not much rehab to a broken bone.  6 weeks good as new.  May need to sterengthen up a little but no biggy.  Tearing things is much worse.  Give me a broken leg any day over and ACL or other such torn stuff.

Might be 6 weeks to walk on it, but articles are quoting up to 5 months before he's back to playing golf on tour.

He had some pins placed in the top of the tibia bone so this is not a simple fracture, i gather.  I suspect the biggest hurdle to overcome for MAJ will be loss of stamina with months of marginal leg activity ahead of him.  His swing may not be affected much but his ability to practice and walk the courses will be tested.

This lack of stamina in older guys, like VJ Singh this past year, shows up on the  fourth day of the tourney when the legs get tired and can't recover fast enough.  Weak or tired legs will bring many troubles to the golfer.

A little more complicated it seems.  Sounds like a tibeal plateau.  You are correct since it is now into the knee joint.

Bummer.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
