Might have to quit the game - just knackered my back with a 'conventional' swing

[Whereditgo]

Sorry James - was on my mobile earlier and didn't spot your PM - have sent you a detailed reply now mate.

Thanks for all the kind sentiments guys (and girls), much appreciated :thup:









You think 6319yds for a par 70 is a bit short Murph?

Hope its not too bad pal....Might have been a blessing in disguise with the journey your were going to embark on to get to scratch....C'mon away over here with your gammy back and my messed up leg we'd look some sight knocking balls around my course....

LOL... oh the irony! Today was going to be something to compare to, first round and all that.. all I've got now as a measure is that I completed exactly 1 hole

But at what handicap?

A couple of days doing nothing will certainly improve the situation.

Why am I reading that and chuckling to myself????

 

[HawkeyeMS]

Sorry to hear that James, just when you were feeling motivated to have a real crack at getting lower as well. Hope you get back soon.

 

[Tiger]

Sorry to hear about your back, is it feeling any better today? Hope your back enjoying your S&M swinging in the near future

Sorry to hear about the injury. Osteo really did help me with my back issues and I would srecommend going to Osteo before going to Physio. Get well soon

 

[need_my_wedge]

Nowt to do with the 1 "orthdox" swing fella. Most likely caused by long term damage swinging with that S&T incorrectness...........

On a serious note, sympathize with you, have suffered from back problems for 30 years..... Doesn't stop me playing, the key is regular stretching, and keep moving it, especially when it starts to stiffen up. If you lay up, it will just stiffen up more, and take longer to loosen.


Definitely worth getting some treatment, whether it be sports physio, osteo or chiro - preferably with someone recommended. The'll be able to show you the best exercises to keep it in shape after. Don't stop doing the exercises once it's righted itself, stick with them forever more and it will help prevent it happening again, because if you don't it probably will.

Now I've made it home and sit here in agony (hurts to sit and hurts to stand) I'm not sure what the plan is going to be... I guess a months rest will be a start but the way if feels right now I'm thinking I might never play again :

Sorry to hear about that, "I might never play again" now stop moaning and get on with it.

Mate,
just read what has happened , how you feeling today ?Hope it get's sorted as I was looking forward to seeing how low you could get your H/C?

Instead of feeling like I've snapped my spine it feels more like I've been punched... just a huge dull ache. Wouldn't want to move too fast but I'm up and around. The thought of lashing a driver makes me feel physically sick so I'm not sure where this is going... might be right as rain in a week or not. Whatever happens I'll have to go see a Chiropractor at some stage just to find out what's going on. Didn't go to the hospital as I've only just woken up (it was killing me and I was up 'til 6am) then hobbled the kids to school at 9

Fixed that for you James - you'll thank me one day
