Surgery For Me, See You In Two Weeks

I'm heading to Duke Hospital in a few minutes for a Carpal Tunnel Release surgery, after which I won't be allowed to type for a few weeks...at least with my left hand.

That in mind, I am going to have to take a brief hiatus not only from writing, but from swinging a golf club too. I've been told I can putt in a couple of weeks but cannot even chip for another four.

That's the bad news. The good news is that I should be able to get some lost grip strength back and once healed, I should be better than ever. That's good, an aching hand is no way to go through life, son.

So all of that said, Happy Holidays, Festas felizes, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, et Bonne Année pour vous!

    There's light at the end of the carpal tunnel, Charles.

    Quick recovery, then back to the course and the keyboard ... and your wife.

    CB,
    Assuming you are right-handed, many tour golfers practice both short chips and lagging putts one-handed. It is virtually impossible to de-cel one-handed and I use the putting drill just for some semblance of 'feel' for those long putts I inevitably leave myself with...

    Sadly Vince, I am a lefty that plays right-handed.
