Happy Valentine's Day . . .

Ouch! My shoulder . . .

I've been working with a shoulder injury now for several months, not a rotator cuff tear, thank goodness, but some tendonitis and strained traps and pecs, the result of a combination of poor posture, a lack of follow-through in my swing, and age, so says Jenna, the physical therapist.

Of course, I continued to play golf . . . until swinging the club caused so much pain that I couldn't swing the club.  Then I requested physical therapy.

Then I played golf -- twice -- and re-injured my shoulder.  Then the physical therapist threatened to discharge me for noncompliance.

Before . . . and After, Who's Having More Fun?
