Good luck in your recovery. Just continue to be amazed at the miracles of modern medical technology! When I shattered a knee in 1977, they put it back together with screws and kept me in the hospital 31 days! Had a cast from groin to ankle. 2009, they took a skill saw, 1/2" drill and some epoxy... cut out the old knee and epoxied a new one in its place. 24 hours later, I was home!!!
We've come a long way! The fun side of that is us old codgers will stick around longer to be a pain in the neck to you youngun's !!!!
Good thoughts for a fast and easy recovery!
You're just a young'un. Should heal up quck.
Since our group is a bunch of old codgers, we play from the old codger tees. This morning, the son-in-law and another long hitter wanted to play along with us. So, I dropped out of our regular group. The two youngun's and I played from the white... second longest... set of tees. Totally different game!!! And, could be a little unnerving when they were out driving me by 80 to 100 yards.
Made up my mind to just play my game and have a good time. And... that's what I did. Pars on 3 of the 4 loooooong par 5's. On the par 5 #18, had a birdie chip lip out and saved my par. Only double all day was on the 4th par 5... #10. Quite a few pars with a few bogeys mixed in. Kept the ball in play and hit some great iron shots. The putter has been dead the past couple weeks, but this morning I was making putts.
Don't know what the final score was. Just know the youngun's were a taken back when we all three were putting for pars on many of the holes.

went to the driving range today, first time holding a club this year, actually since September last yea.....felt good to hit a couple off balls again, looking forward to getting out on the course.
Still able to play almost every day. Think I've missed two days in the past two weeks.
This morning was damp and cold. But, five of us played. I've been having a terrible time getting started on these cold mornings. Takes me 5 to 9 holes to get stretched out and warmed up. And, still too many clothes on. When I finally woke up this morning, things turned pretty quick. Missed a birdie putt on 8 and birdied 9. Three birds on the back with 2 bogeys so was one under for the back.
The T300's are already in my rear view mirror. Dickering on some replacements. Played the last two or three days with the 1985 Eye 2's.

3 of us played a 'par or better' this morning. Didn't keep score, just marks for won holes. I won 10 of the 18 holes and lost none! The 8 holes were tied, either by the other two or myself and one of the others. Collected $2.50 in quarters!!!!
Not bad for a set of irons I hadn't even hit one ball with before the first hole.

Another $1.50 from the old coots today. Was going to pick up a new putter to compliment the almost total bag changeover. Had my eyes on a couple Odysseys and one of the new Cleveland HB Soft Milled. The old Ping My Echo has been working her heart out this past few days. She must have caught some gossip about my lookin' to cheat on her. The My Echo line was released in 1967. May just have to back off thinking about another putter until the My Echo lays down on me again.
Golf is fun again. Don't know how long it will last. Course is beginning to green up. Mowing fairways this morning. Greens rolling pretty true. Sorry, Northerners!!!
4 birdies this morning. Had another long one for bird on #1. One of the old coots made fun of my new putter. "That's three-jack distance!" "Here, hold my beer!" Center cup.
The Epic driver and SuperHybrids do their job. Getting used to the Rouges. Just gotta remember the 9 is an 8, the 8 is a 7, etc.
Been easy pickin's. $2.50 this morning. $2.00 yesterday. By next Spring may have this putter paid for!!! :>)
