I sedate mine with hops and barley.Me and my liver haven't spoken in years.
Wait until you get old LOL.I can't remember the last time I took a pill. Probably that antibiotic for the infection in my finger...
As a general rule, I don't take medications.
This is pretty much the way I see Tiger's career playing out.The "Golf News" article posted by DFH says Woods still intends on beathing Nicklaus and Hogan's records. That desire is what probably gets him motivated to face each day. It would be difficult to bet against him. Yet, the odds of him recovering enough to ever play well enough to win and win majors is doubtful.
Nicklaus never had physical issues until he was well past his prime. Even then, he had a hip replacement had still played some extremely competitive golf on the Senior Tour. Couples continues to be plagued with the back problems that robbed him of playing competitive golf. And, he swings with a lot less vigor than does Woods.
If Woods can somehow be convinced to reduce his swing to 80% and play for accuracy over length... play for hitting a 7-iron where he hits a wedge today... he may be able to compete. If he comes back with the same dynamic swing he has utilized his entire career, I just don't see the body holding up.
The other issue is the motivation to win. Woods will never feel his career complete unless he breaks one or both of the Nicklaus/Hogan records. Yet, he is a billionaire with yacht, huge mansion, any female he desires ready and willing to bed him, luxury autos... he will never want for anything financially. Can he still will the body to excell? Is there still enough motivation to have that nagging feeling in the back of your head that the next swing could put you in a wheelchair... and keep on swinging?
The last chapter still hasn't been written.

My check liver light is on right now.Me and my liver haven't spoken in years.
I used to be the guy thinking that back pain people complained until I herniated my disk. Never again & I totally get the fear. The first swing I took was the most hesitant and jittery swing. I thought for sure I was going to crumple into a pile on the ground!Been there done that, for what ever reason though, I never got a t-shirt, 3 times no T-shirt. 1999, I was rolling up a thick canvas tarp standing on top of a high back HMMV (hummer) when I was in the Marine Corps. We we in the desert in 29 Palms where I was stationed at the time. The wind kicked up, and the tarp caught it, pulled me back off the top. I landed on the open tailgate, then fell to the sand. I was told it was just muscle spasms, untill 2004 when I finally convinced them to give me an MRI. First surgery soon after. Then in 2005 a second, followed less than a month later by the third. I was on convalesant leave healling from the 2nd, when I sneezed and ruptured a disc. I was sooooo anxious to get back to playing, but was sooooo scared of the pain. It took me almost a year before I started to putt and chip. 18 months untill I was swinging again. Nothing is the same. Pain is there, although not as bad. some days its really bad, and I do nothing. The radiating is still there but minimal, and I try to play every day if I can to stay moving and flexible. The winters suck back, sitting around really doing nothing, and cold don't help. People with back pain understand people with back pain... others think we are complaining to much. Well, the amount of Morphine I ingest is not indicitive of a false complaint.
But I take it easy, and am semi retired from the Marine Corps because of it. I wonder some times how well I could have been (golf wise) had I not been injured. Oh well, I'm never gonna make money at it.
