Taking An Unwelcome Break

I’m out for up to six weeks. Me and my Canadian golf buddies decided to play basketball with some local Mexican players when our first round was cancelled due to high winds last Thursday. Unfortunately I came away with an injured finger when scrambling to grab the ball.

My right ring finger is in a splint---torn ligament.

I thought I had just sprained the finger. Managed to play through the whole tournament. But people were telling me the finger’s a bit crooked.

That was confirmed by a hand specialist in West Palm Beach.

I’m glad it wasn’t any worse. But I’m not happy either. It’s going to be hard not playing golf. I’m hoping I can brush up on my putting even with a bum finger.

I’m going to look for other useful things to do while I’m on the sidelines.
