When on the Golf D/L due to injuries, what's your vice?

[OrangeCrush]

I haven't been able to play due to a back injury in 2 months, going to see the Back Dr. on Monday so I am taking advantage of my down time for ramp up using my DSLR shooting and finding it quite relaxing.

 

When in the same issue as me, what was your "get out of the house" vice?

I like to shoot bullets instead of pixels. Talk about therapeutic...

When my hips were shot I could not do much walking. Sitting in anything but a recliner hurt, Was not a lot of time spent out of the house in those days. I read a lot and played a ton of COD online to keep the reflexes kinda sharp. Think I had 500+ hours in MW3 the year before my hip surgeries.

Far more, "hey who wants to go to the bar and throw a few back" nights... golf: the drug to keep you off drugs

I play poker, drink beer, go for easy and low impact walks / hikes, mow the lawn (riding mower), just try to keep myself busy.

Well got bad news at the Dr. so my golf is done for 2017. I have a fractured L5, been doing PT for the last 3 weeks and feeling better than before but LONG way to go. Taking tons of pics so I am getting out.

Curious how that happened? Was it playing or something more traumatic?

They don't know. Could have been from my HS hockey days 30yrs ago. It's only now the plates shifted causing the pain. I haven't had any accidents or anything to cause this.

I did the same thing when I tore my ACL. I got really good at Madden haha

Elbow issue, likely looking at surgery In a few weeks, out for a couple of months after that (been playing restricted golf since June, so hopefully the end is finally in sight). Until then, I’d normally be a grass growing geek, but we’re in severe drought in the transition zone, so my lawn is dust.

 

So, for now, it’s beer.

Sorry to hear that. Dang nabbit!...

 

I'm about to put myself on the IR. I'm dealing with 3 very painful injuries now. One is a wrist I busted in football when I was a kid (and wasn't diagnosed until a few decades later). The other is pain in my knee where I have titanium from an ACL replacement - also football. The other is golfer's elbow that won't go away no matter what. Starting PT next month. So much f'ing pain all the time these days. Booze and ibuprofin... As far as what to do when not playing golf...Watch my son play golf. He's 12 now and has a killer swing. I'll lug his bag or drive the cart...and drink beer.
