Virge's Swing.

**Hamo84** · 22nd January 2010 10:11 AM

Great to hear your up and about and at least able to swing a club....

Despite the pain, I can imagine that you would have at least felt a sense of freedom to at least be able to go back to doing something that you like

Glad to hear you're making it back Virge. I can't believe how long this is taking for you. Worst. Luck. Ever.

**moree golfer** · 22nd January 2010 11:18 AM

Great to hear you are "schwinging" once again Virge

. I look forward to getting to another Ozgolf round in the Sydney region, and having a beer with you this time.

15 pills a day... bloody hell, you poor bastard

You might have to make Terrey Hills Chip n Putt your home course for a while until you can swing pain free.

virge, tried to get onto your website to see your vids but its down, whats the go?

**virge666** · 16th February 2010 05:25 PM

I played my first game in 6 months on Saturday and had 35 points with two wipes... so I am bloody happy.

My swing actually looks OK - still issues with the lower half, but I seem to always have that. The hands are good.

That being said - I can't hit it out of my own shadow. My 5 iron goes about 160m and my driver is struggling around the 220m mark. I have absolutely no core muscles... I can do about 5 situps and then i need a rest.

I will get some vids up as soon as I get time to get some during the day. We can then pick holes in it.

Life is good.

Virge

Good to hear you have finally made it back onto the course.

Hope the improvement continues.

**henno** · 23rd February 2010 09:24 PM

Be happy you are walking. Then be happy you can even play golf, let alone hit your driver 220.

Great news.

**Jarro** · 23rd February 2010 09:25 PM

Welcome back Virge

It is a thing for only people with exquisite taste to know.

Thanks for the well wishes lads - it is sensational to be able to play again, 4 weeks ago I was in a hospital bed with a drip in my arm.

As I said - Life is good.

PS: The X22 tours are a fantastic club

Proof there are ongoing, lasting side effects of the staph infection and associated illness.

Great to hear your getting back out there, forced layoff suck.
I'm sure you will be flushing them in a couple of months

**LarryLong** · 24th February 2010 08:04 AM

Top stuff Virge!

Hope your mates are sledging you for hitting like a girl.

**dhills2** · 24th February 2010 10:48 AM

...what Henno said.

It didn't stop all day - not for a moment. I hit 4 wood to a par 3, one of my partners hit 5 iron over the back... that lasted two holes...

Then it was driver - 4 wood to a 350 Par 4...

Simply one of the best albums ever. Check out the "Easy Star All Stars" version of DarkSide.

**Toolish** · 24th February 2010 11:13 AM

Nie to see you back...solid round for a restart too!

**razaar** · 24th February 2010 12:46 PM

Good to read that you are back on the course. Interested in why your shot distances have dropped off so dramatically.
