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.
