How about, "I was reaching into the net to lift out my 54'' muskie, it thrashed and got me with a tooth...."

That is much more believable anyway.  Well, maybe if I said 32" muskie though.

I have come to realize you are always working an angle Scott.

Long time no post.  Shady's back.  Well not really.  14 months and counting with no golf.  Not really much going on that is new.  Wrist is still coming along very slowly and is not ready for even partial swings yet.  Sorry @Jakester23 I have not really even tried to start chipping and putting again and won't be able to try and do much for a couple more weeks as my schedule is absolutely crazy.  I will say that the desire just has not really been there to even try.  I feel like I have in some ways moved on from my expectations and desire to work on things and care about playing so much.  I would like to play again, but it will likely be on a more casual level if I am even able to make full swings sometime this year.  You just never know what life will bring, one swing, one second in the wrong place at the wrong time, changes life.  Priorities and even interests can change depending on the effect.  Things just can become much less important as perspective is changed.  Not sure how much I can or will be around in the future, but hope everyone is well and be thankful for every moment you get to enjoy what you love to do.

Good to hear from you Nate! Yes, I can see how a 14 month forced layoff can change interests. Well, I will still hold out for a future visit to your neck of the woods as we planned last year. 

Going through some forearm stuff (old flare up) myself. Not nearly to the extent of what you have gone through - but maybe a few weeks off. I am getting ready make a full post on my swing thread.

Went to the range with @Jakester23 yesterday.  Mainly was to help him out with his swing but I did steal a few golf balls from him and hit a few shots for the first time in a very long time.  I was scared to send the club through the ball at first.  I ended up hitting a couple partial 6 iron shots that went about 120-130 yards so I was very happy with that.  I am still feeling some strange muscle instability in my left forearm and general tightness in the wrist but it was a positive sign for sure. I will probably try again next week and work out the wrist in between.  We will see how it goes.

Very much so, thank you.

Good to hear. Little draws, I presume?

Yeah, when I trusted the wrist and actually swung through the ball.  I had to point out to @Jakester23 how I was hitting the ball out of the middle of the club face as well.

Awesome news!

Scary testing out a recently healed injury, but sounds like you passed with flying colors. Great to hear.

Thanks Guys!

I just wanted to take a quick moment to recognize and thank @Jakester23, @iacas and @GolfLug for contacting me personally a number of times to check in and see how I was doing since my injury back in April of 2015.  You guys have no idea how much that meant to me.  Hopefully I will be back out on the course within' the next month and all of this will be behind me.

I will try and post a full swing next week just for fun.  I probably won't be doing much work on the swing anymore.  I just want to play.

We will see how long that lasts…  Plus, more seriously, I think you know enough to "work" without seeking it.

I should be the one thanking you. Not just for meeting me at the range (and fixing me) but for answering all my annoying questions over the last few years. We will definitely get out this year bud my treat.

Haha, yeah I am sure I will continue to "work" on things in some way or another.  A lot has just changed in my life since all this happened so it will definitely be on a much LESS "obsessive" level.

You are my friend Jake, and you don't owe me a thing.

Swing looks good, but we'll have to teach you how to set-up a camera all over again.

That was intentional as I am trying to avoid having myself or anyone else analyze anything right now.
