Just making sure my swing is where it needs to be. I'm going to have a good time, lots of laughs and some golf.
I might extend that work back to 150-100 yards. I don't see a great deal of inside 100yd shots in your future on either course
These teams are stacked
Good looking out Freddie, will adjust accordingly. Sounds like the short end of the full swing clubs (7-GW) will replace the heavy wedge work then, but still need to hit up putting, chipping, and sand play pretty hard.
Happy to be a part of it and looking forward to it. Time to bring it home. #ImwithHarry

Guys, I have just discussed with JB, and it is with a very heavy heart I have to bow out of this event.
Back in January when I was offered this once in a lifetime opportunity, I was dealing with a hand issue, but my orthopedist assured me that it was just a tendon strain and I'd be fine in a few weeks with rest and ice. Every 3-4 weeks I'd give it a go at the driving range, and after 1-2 balls, would be in immense pain. Fast forward 6 visits and 4 1/2 months later (i actually hurt it in Nov), and I was finally given a bone scan, which can detect potential stress fractures, among other things. While I haven't had my official follow up, even to a lay person the results seem pretty definitive, and that is I have bone trying to repair itself right now (that's the bright white). There could be many different complete diagnosis', but I showed to two clients of mine who are doctors in NY, and both agreed that regardless what the final diagnosis is, golf should certainly not be in my immediate future. I'm probably looking at best case a cast, and worst case some type of surgery.
I already feel terrible that i've already taken away 3 months of build up from a replacement, and done everything from therapy, to actually buying a set of Apex irons with recoil shafts in an attempt to lesson the pain. But finally I decided not to waste any more time hoping that a miracle would occur, so I formally withdrew today. Sorry to let you guys down, and to not get the chance to meet you all down in Orlando. That being said, I'll probably be talking even more smack now Tadashi, and I'm #StillWithHarry

I'm sorry to hear this. I knew you were dealing with your hand, but I wasn't expecting this. You have to do what's best for your health, though. You need those hands to golf!

Martsy. Man I hate that for you. I know it's the best decision but dang that's tough. I've actually slowed down on my lifting scared to death of an injury.
Sorry buddy, you will be missed but you will be there in spirit!

thanks guys..it's a double whammy...probably cancelling the Hawaii trip too. Want to start right away on a fix, not to mention I don't surf and really was going for the daily golf.
to say there's some Jack Daniels in my future tonight would be an understatement. Maybe even some of that stump liquor that OG keeps mentioning...
