Tiger injured in car crash..

[Golfnut1957]

If that was the case why says things like “ I think” and “likely “.
Not really having a go at you personally.
I watched the news this morning after his operations and not one report has given a full report on what happened or wether he was dosed up.
However one did mention he hadn’t been drinking.
It just amazes me that a forum has so many experts in many fields they are obviously no good at.

You mean like golf.

Close the forum down.

I've not been a great fan of Woods over the years - unfairly so as that feeling was driven almost 100% by what I considered hugely excessive fan and media adulation. But more recently and since his 'comeback' I did sense a change in him - and definitely more humility and acceptance of his limitations - and with that change I found I could ignore the stupidity of others towards him and found myself actually rooting for him - when in the past that was rare.

This is exactly how I have always felt. All it took was Mark Roe to start gushing about Tiger, and it was either mute or off. Nothing to do with Tiger and everything about Roe.

I used to love watching Tiger walk between shots. I mean why would I want to see another golfer hitting a golf shot for heaven’s sake when I could watch Tiger walking. Again nothing to do with the man, all about the perception of the producer.

I have never threatened anyone with an eternity of pain and torture in hell.
Sadly the same can't be said for some religions.

Havnt you tried to teach us how to play golf.?
I think that might count.

He might try option 3, rehabilitate his public and family image building on sympathy for his injuries, throw himself into his foundation and then in a couple of years, go back to where he was always planned to go - that which is forbidden for discussion in the forum. No, not chippers or iron head covers, the p-word.

Punditry oh no.
But if Faldo can do it?

...so hopefully Tiger will at least be able to play recreationally with his lad if not competitively.

It would be a real shame if he isn't able to play recreational golf with his kids in the future.

Only a problem at Liverpool Airport.

For 41 years I have had plates and bolts holding my left arm together (hence my forum name) .

During that time I have flown using nearly 30 international and 9 in the British Isles.

Only at Liverpool did I set the scanner going.

Do you have to tell the security that you have these ?
Just asking as my lad has a screw in his Tallis bone .

Agreed. The one good thing is that he is in a Country, and has access to, the best that the medical world can offer. If they can't mend him to a good degree, then nowhere can.
All the best to you, Tiger.

I usually mention it but I don't think that I am obliged to.

If I am wearing a short sleeve shirt the scar, from elbow to near shoulder is clearly visible.

Anyone else hear our illustrious leader MH being "interviewed" about Tiger on national radio today?

On second thoughts I suppose not. It was BBC News and no-one on here listens to that!

It's his life, his career and his leg, but I really hope the focus of his rehab is to get himself as fit and pain free as possible to enable him to enjoy being a Dad to his kids and in time, a Grandad.

Visiting the Skygarden is the only venue my metalwork has shown up on the scanners...

Not even the White House for me!

Confirms he had at least one fasciotomy, too. Grim procedure. Imagine being able to see inside your own leg while you wait for the swelling to subside. Fingers crossed none of the muscle gets infected and/or turns necrotic.

I feel so sorry for him, his life is now completely different.

Good piece. I think I also pointed to the ankle/foot as the main problem somewhere earlier in the thread. They are mobile joints whereas the tib/fib can be firmly fixed and held together more easily.

I agree with this 100%. My father and I were in a serious car accident when I was around 11, back in 1991. My dad came out of it quite badly and was never able to play cricket again properly - I thankfully came out relatively unscathed as I was asleep.

Anyway my dad was quite a handy cricketer, however, I never got to play any serious cricket with him as his foot was mangled and he would struggle to be in the field for half a day. Still gutted to this day I never got to play with him, especially, as I could run in full pelt and he could play me with relative ease in the nets! I'm lucky that he can play golf, if with a lot of discomfort, so we get to enjoy some good sporting banter and rivalry.

Sounds bad, multiple injuries in the lower legs, ankles, feet. Career effectively over, in my opinion.

Who do you think you are , a doctor? Oh yes - sorry ??

GM has a good article with an orthopaedic surgeon, someone posted it above, but for your convenience: Here, and the orthopod is basically saying tib/fib can be fixed fine, but ankles and feet are trickier.

My dad was one of 5 boys and 2 girls but never played golf. I've played with uncles and 1 of my aunts but would have loved to have played with my father.

Do you suspect the scousers are trying to nick the metal to sell as scrap?
