I was involved in a serious car crash not long ago and my inability to swing properly contributed to my decision to depart the forums here. It's dangerous out there, two crashes in recent years have been enough...
Since the accident, it happens I have been challenged on this forum to show more swing videos/ball striking, etc. It has been very frustrating to be physically unable to. At present, I have a handful of damaged dics and a few other problems. Not good news for any golfer. I'm sure many here know how hard it is make a decent swing with even a stiff neck.
Recently, TGMer Denny Alberts and I became friends (he was once a critic), I appreicate Denny's honesty, he's a great guy IMHO. We both laughed at that one.
Several weeks ago, after a medical procedure Denny helped escort me out of the med. clinic due to the drousy effects of the general aesthetic. I thought this would be a fine time to hit a few golf balls under his critical eye. So, 30 minutes later we were at the Practice Tee and I hit full wedges for him as well as chips, pitches, and putts. Three days later I hit 5 iron shots for him, my first full swings in several months.
Denny doesn't like to post much, but I'm sure he would say I'm not shy about hitting shots for anyone irregardless of my physical condition, which frankly isn't very good. The docs have told me it's time to leave golf. I've got one more thing to do, first. It will take a little longer or agruably a lot longer, that's all. Until then, good luck to all and keep 'em in the short grass.
