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.

Man, tough thing to happen. Here's praying for his speedy recovery and return to the tee box.

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.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By iacas · Posted

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...
