Who's looking forward to the Open??

Hopefully I am going to get some tickets for the open. If I do I will post some images on this blog and a report of how the grounds and players are doing. I will be bringing my daad so he can explain everything to me. Hopefully it will inspire me to continue with golf and to finally get a handicap.

cheers

Mike

I know how Tiger feels

Posted by Mike Price on June 23, 2008 7:10 AM

Having recently returned to golf from having an ACL reconstruction, I know how frustrated Tiger Woods feels. While he has had the best surgeons money can buy, a team of physios, masseur's, dietitians, experts and family and friends. The rest of us (IE me) have had the best surgeons the NHS can afford, weekly visit to an ACL physio class (1 hour), my daughter Asha who has been moisturising my dead skin ( masseur?), my wife cooking her usual lovely vegetarian food ( I have lost 4 lbs), the internet (expert) and my family and friends.
Not that I am complaining, I feel better than ever in my stability. The knee feels firmer and according to the Physio I will hit the ball straighter.
I managed to get a game in recently with My Dad and Tommy ( a sprightly near 90 year old). I managed to arse up the first 9 as I was more concerned with my knee than enjoying the golf, but I relaxed and the back 9 was much improved. I WAS hitting the ball straight and long, I was on for par more than once and if my putting had of been better I could have under parred maybe two holes.
Golf is a game of optimism played by pessimists. Here is one pessimist hoping to get a game of golf soon.
See, I told you I know how Tiger feels.
