I dislocated my shoulder April 12th. It popped back in itself. I walked home, poured myself a bourbon, and watched the rebroadcast of the 2019 Masters. Saw a doctor two weeks later, a surgeon a week after that, an MRI shortly after. Torn labrum, broken bone, and bruised my humerus so badly I actually flattened a portion of the rounded end.
Been playing the odd round with half swings (I can’t get my arm above parallel), seven clubs, and no driver because I don’t swing fast enough to compress it.
180 yards on my 7-iron is now 120, but still fun being out there. Haven’t gotten doctors opinion on playing, but relatively pain free if I clear my hips through impact (it was right shoulder). Stopping the body and flipping is when it hurts. Been doing rehab as instructed, going painfully slow, body is guarding the joint still. Learning a different game for now.
How does one ask their wife to play in this when one just spent five days in gearhart then rented a house with a bunch of buddies to play the mid-am at McCormick Woods right before this event?
The Competition Committee is looking into allegations reporting certain competitors getting a few Suncadia loops in over the weekend, in an apparent attempt to gain an edge during our Championship. More to come as I decide how best to leverage this situation to my advantage,
It has been revealed to Refuge News Network (RNN) by sources inside The Competition Committee that in addition to some competitors getting in practice rounds this weekend, at least one player works at the tournament venue and has been practicing weekly for months. The source has revealed that The Committee is discussing, not only potential concerns about course knowledge advantages, but also, concerns about this individual’s influence over course setup. As always, this is a developing situation, stay tuned for more.
