Injury Update 10/31/2019

If you're wondering why I haven't posted to this blog for a few months, it is because:
​On Friday, August 2nd I woke up and couldn't get out of bed.  Without going into a lot of the excruciatingly painful details, let me say​ I haven't golfed since.  It was very disappointing because I had a lot more golfing planned before the season was over.  I had weekly league to play, a Club Championship title to defend and our traveling team with Apple Valley Women's Golf Association still had 3 events left. My friends and I also had a cruise to Hawaii scheduled which was going to include playing at Wailua on Kauai.
 

But, what does a person do to keep their sanity when they love golf but can't play? Once I was able, ​I decided to tag along with my friends and cheer them on.  After the first couple of weeks I was able to go out and ride along in a cart.  You don't realize how bumpy EVERY golf course is until you have back problems!  My back reminded more than once to SLOW DOWN!

For the remaining team events (at Apple Tree, Leavenworth and the Wenatchee Golf & Country Club) ​I tagged along and the course pros were happy to comp me a cart and let me serve as a Course Marshall.  I was happy to be useful even though I couldn't play. It was a Win/Win. 

Even though I couldn't actually play, it was fun to be out watching the ladies play. And, there's always the 19th hole, right?   

The pictures above are of the group of ladies I tagged along with to the Moses Lake Country Club in early September. ​

​If you're ever injured and can't golf, don't hesitate to go out and be a cheering section for your friends.  I'll try to get a few more articles and pictures posted about some of the ​other events I've attended during my recovery.
