This afternoon I managed to get out on the golfcourse for the 1st time since early December. I slipped on frozen snow on 7th Dec and in trying to keep my balance, I badly tweeked my neck and badly pulled a muscle going into my shoulder.
The ironic thing is, had I fallen and put out my arm to stop my fall, I would have broken my collar bone. It would probably hve been healed by now, whereas I have been stuck with a "whiplash" type injury and a torn muscle into my shoulder.
Anyway, I took my daughter out for a few holes this afternoon. The weather was fair if a little cold. The course was on full greens and the underfoot conditions were not too bad, almost dry! The golf was a bit rusty, but that was to be expected after a two month layoff.
It's amazing how much we miss this great game when we are unable to play. I've been lucky over the years only once missing golf due to a back injury and once after a neck operation. This time however it just seemed that I was never going to get back out there.
Now I need to get some range work in before I go to Goswick.
