In Lexington, KY this week. Played with a 100 yr old man today in the Pro-Am. What an experience! It was so impressive to see a guy play 18 holes at that age! He also dropped a 40 ft putt on one hole!

I'm off at 1:33 tomorrow.

Road Trip

Long day on the road: Orlando to Lexington, KY with a dinner stop at The Stallings residence in Knoxville. Thanks Scott and Jen!

First of 7 weeks on the road. Ash joins me Saturday for good!

Piracy

A routine night out with the guys in Champions Gate/Celebration, FL....

Back At It

Last week was my 2nd week of playing and I finally started to feel comfortable with the game and competing.  I figured it would probably take one "warmup" tournament to do it, and it did.  I had a solid week that was played in windy and cold conditions, finishing 13th in the NGA Tour event in Windsor, NC.  The reason for playing well was probably because Ash was able to come up for most of the event!

This week I'm in the the southeastern part of NC, playing an eGolf Tour event that starts tomorrow.  I'm at 8:40am.

Day One

During the last week, I have seen some great progression in the healing of my finger.  So, today I went to the range and finally hit a few balls.  I've been able to chip and putt recently, but today was the first time taking full swings.  All I did was hit some wedges, but after 8 weeks off, it felt so great to be out there!  I only hit 27 balls today, but hopefully I can increase a little each day.

Ash had her first week of work this week!  She is the pastoral assistant at our church, Celebration Community Church.  If you are ever in Orlando, I encourage you come to a service on Sunday.  You will hear truth!!  The job as proved to be Ashley's cup-of-tea.....she did administrative work while on staff for a Congressman in Washington, DC.  Her job hear is a lot of administrative work AND it's a "field" that is a passion of hers = CHURCH!  

We are so grateful for the friends we have made at CCC, and now being able to plug in the church and be a part of the growth is so fun!  

Let the Healing Begin

The stitches are out in the leg! I'm hoping to run tomorrow.

The finger/knuckle is starting to feel better.  I'm going to try to practice short game today with my fingers taped together.

Therapy on the neck/shoulder is going well, but it's also going slow.  It has been tough to assess the progress because I haven't been able to swing (which might have been a good thing) due to my finger.

All in all, things are getting better, but it doesn't look like I'll be ready for Tallahassee....hoping for Ocala.

Injury Update

#1:  As in the last post, I'm starting Physical Therapy on my neck and shoulder, so hopefully the healing is starting strong.  The next 3 weeks will be a lot of time spent with my PT, Alex.

#2:  Got the MRI results back on my hand today.  Basically a strained tendon and sprained ligament.  But, no placement damage or straight tears.  That's good news!  The recovery time should be short!

#3:  The stitches in my left leg should come out in a week!
