  • Short Golfing Video after Spine Surgery

    I just decided to start a new thread since my last one was getting fairly long and had several different topics. John and I are now vacationing in Bradenton, FL for a few weeks and finally got to play golf yesterday. We have had an extremely sick schnauzer with us who is now home from the Veterinarian Critical Care Hospital in Sarasota and is doing well.

    The video is in my "signature". While it's not my best swing ever, it's a start and I have hopes that with time and practice, it will get better. You can hear John yelling on the video when he thinks it is going to get in the water. It didn't make the water, but I told him no matter where the ball went, he should have said, "Nice hit!", since no one could actually see the end result.
