Art,

I nearly cried when I read your post. I am soooooo looking forward to

chasing my 4 year old boy (and my 17 month old girl) with my new hip when I

have recovered enough.

Subject: 8,1/2 weeks out,walked 9 holes

My Fellow Hippies,

Yesterday was a milestone day in my recovery and my life.I walked

9 holes without any pain,carrying my own bag,and was able to take

full powerful swings with no anxiety or fear whatsoever.My swing was

as good as it's ever been, the new range of motion and the freedom

from years of knawing pain,allowed me to return to my old form where

i was always hovering around par and allowed me to compete

professionally.

On a more personal level it gave me a big chunk of my heart

back when I stepped off the first tee with my 8 year old son Sky and

we both scampered down the fairway dancing hand in hand,it felt so

good to be alive and be healed of the disease of arthritis.

Wishing eveybody a speedy recovery and great hope

Art, Hi ,

So great to hear of your amazing success.27 holes walking

a hilly course and without pain,wow! You are my beacon.I felt like I

could have gone longer the other day but decided to be more

conservative,especially since so many people from this site were

conerned about too much too quick.

I forgot to tell how meaningful it was to walk again with my

golfing brotherhood,some of the preminent senior players in Montery

Bay.They perhaps as well as anybody, were witness to how

dibilitating the disease had been to myself and my game.To walk

alongside them again was a real thrill.

As for me and the game itself, it's alot about goin for a

walk through the woods with a bunch of guys who are truly masterful

at what they do.To be in the prescence of the zone is so

wonderful.We took out one of our best friends ,a scratch 59 year old

marvel who gets nervous in tournaments and never does very well. It

was his birthday, so we bought him a bourbon and cofee on the 3rd

hole. He immediately became more relaxed and even a bit giddy. He

proceeded to shoot 69 on a difficult course in the wind. SO

who knows maybe this tip might help your game.If you start shooting

par but become an alcoholic in the process you can't hold me

responsible. Keep your head still the old golf pro Art
