Andrews on tw masters till the weekend to get my fix .

I have dusted off the TW13 myself... Sux.

I know you use you hands a lot when you work. Are you keeping the wrist relatively immobilized when not working?

I pretty much work right handed and can only use left in a fist. I wear the brace 85% of the day that keeps it immobile. The weekend, I took it off to let it function some but didn't use it. I wear the brace 100% of the time at work. It's a good brace. X-ray was negative so if it's still hurting in a few more weeks I may get a catscan.

Good luck. I hope it heals fast for you.

old ankle injury acting up, ortho doc says surgery will not do anything.  take pain meds about an hour before Tee time and halfway through.  Not the best scenario, but what the H, it works, I get out there.  Also when I ride my bike.  Wear brace when working out.

Thanks. I just got the news that my membership is pushed over until next year. That takes a lot of stress off me but I am still not happy with the progress.

Pulled my left rhomboid last weekend teeing off on the 6th hole. Finished the round anyway and now I am sitting it out till it feels better. I am tempted to go to the range tomorrow if it feels a bit better but I might not risk it and just bring my putter and force myself to practice putting for a while.

90% sure it is a tfcc tear... Golf is dead to me now... I'm on early winter mode where I don't even want to watch the golf channel. Plus the Grand Slam hangover is still fresh sapping my golf interests even more. I told my girlfriend that I don't want to watch the golf channel anymore and she said that she's worried about me. :-P

  • 3 weeks later...

5 days ago wrist started hurting almost as bad as the original injury....2 days ago it suddenly stopped hurting... It still feels weak and not the same function wise but I am stymied on what is going on. One minute super painful and depressing, The next, no discomfort at all... Still waiting to play golf though....

thanks (i think)...    :)

not sure yet...  going through various "elimination tests"...  sooner or later they will figure out why...   my diagnosis of "i'm old" doesn't seem to satisfy them...  :)

all i can say is it sucks...   i am VERY tired of crutches...

Crutches are horrible, especially when you are in college...

I haven't played in 2 weeks and it will probably be another before I'm back on the course. My 1 year old accidently stepped on my balls. Ultrasound showed no significant damage but I've been advised to take it easy for a bit and I'm still in pain.

    • First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.
    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
