injuries and time away from golf

[sol381]

I was playing indoor cricket last night when i was going for a run and i tore my right calf. I knew instantly that it was a torn calf because i did the exact same injury in the exact same circumstances 4 years ago. I now have oifficially retired from indoor cricket.
Anyway, i doubt i will be back on the course until about october which is a shame because i was playing weekly and really enjoying getting out. I was wondering how many others have done non golf related injuries and how long you were out of the game and did your game suffer when you returned?
It really pisses me off but all i can do now is listen to the physio do my exercises and relax until i am well enough to walk unaided.

My Doctor in the end didn't worry about doing the consult for X-Ray referrals, it was nearly a standing order.

Indoor cricket was ranked as one of Australia's most dangerous sports for ages, ended up having to ditch both forms of the game as it was too hard and expensive to play 20+ games a week as well as medical bills and missing work.

yeah mate. im amazed youre such a knowledgeable knowledge box, given the breakage's and injuries had nothing to do with needing a tube to be fed.

I heard that Ned was being fed by a tube after the Pre-Champs round last year, such was his incapacitation.

Played golf at Tasmania GC everyday for a month and got shin splints from going up and down those f**king hills. Put me out for a couple of weeks.
