Ouch!

And Ouch again.

Had to go to the Doc's this afternoon. I was playing a Seve style rescue from under trees on the 17th hole of the last medal of the year on Sunday. A very low punch with a 5 iron tht never got more than 4 feet off the ground but still flew the bunker 80 yards in front and came to rest on the edge of the green - what a result.

Problem was I felt something go in my right hand. And immediately knew something wasn't right. managed to bogey the last 2 holes - something of an achievement bearing in mind I could barely hold a club and then home to get some ice on it.

Doc says I've tweaked a tendon and should lay off golf for at least a week or preferably even longer.

Bang goes the last Major compy of the year on Sunday after which we go onto the winter tee boxes as all the tees are getting a thorough going over.

So, no more teeing off on the grass till April for me. Sniff, Sniff, Sniff. Ouch!

Sounds painful. You will really need to let it mend well if you are going to be hitting off winter mats. Last thing you will need to do is jar it with a mis hit onto a hard surface.

At least this didn't happen mid season.

Play one handed.

Nevermind, I would lay off for a couple of weeks to be on the safe side.

Just recovering from a similar wrist tendon injury, very annoying!

Two weeks rest, then slowly back in with some short game work, before i could hit bigger sticks.

My sympathy is with you, been there done that.
