Pet peeve of mine. Not to change the topic... but.... why is it that the rules of golf get "bent" more than any other sport? I could list a ton of examples but here is my favorite. Player A hits his/her tee ball into the woods on the left side of the hole. After a search, no ball is found. Player A then proceeds to drop a ball (and takes a penalty stroke) where he thinks it entered the woods. Ummmm... wrong. Hit a provisional off the tee if you think there is any chance of not finding the ball. Saves the time and embarrassment of having to drive or walk back to the tee box to play your 3rd shot. For the life of me I can't figure out why some people don't take a stroke & distance penalty in this scenario. The list goes on and on as far as golf rules being bent by players. How about the guy who tees off... wacks a duck hook into the woods and then says "I'm taking a mulligan". Why?????? Imagine if we were bowling and I really messed up and threw my first ball in the gutter. Ever hear of anyone taking a mulligan in bowling??? It just doesn't happen. Or the people who give putts that are in the proximity of 4 feet or so. "That's good". Ummmm.. no it's not. People miss them all the time. Doesn't happen in other sports, yet in golf the rules are being bent or broken all the time. I also live in Ohio. And play by the rules.

Surgery would be my last resort... and I mean last. Many people have found relief from disc surgery but many have not... or have gotten worse. I could tell you my long winded story but why bore you. Here's the short story. I was diagnosed with 2 herniated discs and 1 bulging disc 25 years ago. Was told I may never play basketball again...blah, blah, blah. 25 years later... I do whatever I want. Sure it flares up from time to time... but don't believe the baloney about golf making you permanently worse. My recommendation? Without a doubt... SPINAL DECOMPRESSION. Google that term... that's what you need for relief from herniated/bulging discs. It helps the majority of people who use it. Count me as one of the success stories. Any questions about it, feel free to PM me. It works.

Welcome. Where in Ohio are you located?

Ya.... me too...
