Tiger's 4th knee surgery press release went well
« Reply #1 on: June 24, 2008, 11:17:22 PM »
They had that press release written up last week.

We'll have to wait and see what happens when he returns to the course, which is at least 6 months away.  I hope that he can return to the level of golf he has been playing for the last 3 years; I find it extremely enjoyable to watch.

Until then, we get to find out who is the BPTWAMWOTITF (Best Player To Win A Major Without Tiger In The Field).  I predict it will not be Mickelson, and it will not be Sergio.  Maybe Stewart Cink in the PGA...

I'll head over to redanman's blog to see what an ortho surgeon/strong golfer has to say.

Thanks for reminding me about Bill's blog, Pete. There is a lot of good reading on that.

He had his ACL replaced.  If it came from a cadaver, that's one lucky stiff!

Couldn't resist.

Curt Schilling's recent surgery was called "successful" too -- though his career is likely over.

Anybody ever recall an athlete's surgery being called "unsuccessful"?

Sayers led the league in rushing the season after his first knee reconstruction.  It was a second and less serious injury to the other knee that did him in.

Live Jupiter, Fl, was  4 handicap, played top 100 US, top 75 World. Great memories, no longer play, 4 back surgeries. I don't miss a lot of things about golf, life is simpler with out it. I miss my 60 degree wedge shots, don't miss nasty weather, icing, back spasms. Last course I played was Augusta
