Season Over...

Well, my season came to an early end today. I was out taking pictures with my digital camera for my Digital Media Essentials class, when the sprinklers came on where I was taking pictures. Not wanting to get wet, I tried to hurry away from the spot, and slipped down a hill, landed on my wrist on the curb (the hill was right along a street). My lens broke, and my wrist is badly sprained. This has taken me three times as long to write as it normally would have. So, because of this wrist injury, I'm going to have to put the clubs up, probably for the rest of the season, barring unseasonably warm weather in late November. It sucks, but at least I know that I have my friends on Golf Link to help me keep up on golf.

AH, that sucks! If you have a lot of swelling and bruising, get some Bromelain, the active ingredient in pineapple, or eat a lot of pineapple! It takes bruising and swelling down very well.

Unlucky mate, Did the camera get any shots of the roll down hill? Good luck.

Sorry to hear about that. My broken hand is finally back to 100%, so I know what it's like to be impared like this. I hope you heal quickly. So don't give up on the season yet. Hopefully you'll get one or two more rounds in. And even after that, keep up your game at the range, especially your short game. Hang in there.

Ack, that's awful! I hope this doesn't affect school too much for you. I can't imagine having to write a paper with an injured wrist.
