So I had a pretty fun story today....
I show up to play my local municipality today. It’s honestly a great course for the price, and the people there are good people. However I’ve been trying not to play there as the course is only 6400 from the tips and sometimes I overpower it while not playing well because I hit it long. I took a rain check on Sunday for 9 holes there though because the other local courses were hosting outings. The course was so backed up and it was 100 out so we decided to dip after 9 as I had in laws in town. (Yipeeeeee)
Anyway as I am leaving the clubhouse after checking in I am walking down about a 12 foot hill to where the carts were located. I wasnt paying attention and stepped on some broken pavement. I proceeded to roll my ankle, and as I fell my knee landed on the broken pavement which proceeded to flip me three times as I tumbled down the remainder of the hill. Normally id be more embarrassed than anything but I didn’t care about that as I thought I broke my ankle as I heard a crack on the way down. That turned out to be my debit card that I snapped in my hand on the way down. My ankle was throbbing but my knee was much worse. The broken pavement ripped about a 3 inch portion of my skin off and my leg was covered in blood. I have love for this course but of course they didn’t have bandaids or a first aid lol. I was so embarrassed and didn’t wanna take another rain check. So I jon rambo’d it and just cut a portion of an old golf towel and tied off the cut until I could go over to a dr friends house so he could cauterize it.
Which brings me to the point of the story. Obviously my lower body was completely useless but exposed a bad part of my game. Today i hit the ball straighter than I have in 6 rounds. I shot a 41 with three 3 putts and went OB twice. I was a couple of good breaks away from firing even par. I’ve been in a funk of just always ending with a 45 or a 90 recently. Even when I’m playing well I’ve blown up and scored poorly. I was struggling to stay loose and pain free as the round went on. My adrenaline wore off and I was hurting big time. However, I have definitely learned that my lower half is the main cause of problems when the swing is going bad which I would have never figured out if I didn’t totally eat . It felt like the Jordan flue game at points lol.
Wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience when they were injured, or sick, or even blackout drunk and end up playing great golf?
I play some of my best golf when I wake up after having slept wrong and can't move one limb or another properly.So I had a pretty fun story today....

More importantly, did the course do anything to compensate you for your injuries? I don't expect you'd get enough to retire on, but did they at least give you a pro shop or course credit of any kind?
