Calcium build up...

Hi.

I decided to have a second opinion on my shoulder and it turns out that I have a build up of calcium in my left shoulder nestling on the rotator cuff muscle. Had an X-ray taken and it showed two places in my shoulder where there is calcium...
The Dr. doesn't know why it happens but every so often the body will try and fight a muscular tear with calcium... brutal.

I'm on a strict rehabbing schedule and should be back to chipping and putting next week and then progressing into the long game the weeks thereafter.

If all goes according to plan then I should be back to full competition within 5-6 weeks!
Reading has now become a favorable hobby and I've also become quite the Braves supporter.
I've got allot of decisions to make for the rest of the year with regard to my game and where I want to compete and will have an updated schedule within two weeks for you all to see.

PS. "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman is a awesome read!

God Bless.

Injured shoulder has me rehabing at home for three weeks.

Hi everyone.

Let me start by reflecting back on this past weeks Open Championship!

What an unbelievable performance by Louis Oosthuizen- he gave us an immaculate performance and showed the whole world that he now is a force to be reckoned with.
Congratulations Louis!! I know there are many more performances like that to come.

A fun fact is that Louis, Charl Schwartzel and myself were all part of the South African Junior team that won the World Junior Team Championship in Japan. That's going back about nine years but I'm glad that we finally have a major winner out of that group!!
Seeing them doing so well and making a success of their golf careers definitely keeps me motivated to get to the top.

Having said that.... I've unfortunately injured my left shoulder into my upper bicep muscle and will be taking an additional two weeks off to rehab and strengthen it in order to be on my game.
If I have to look at any blessings in disguise it would be that this injury has happened well in advance of my busy schedule.... that being in a couple months, so I'll have more than enough time to get healthy and get my game to where it needs to be.

I'll be preparing for PGA Q school here in Atlanta and will continue to be ironing out the silly faults and nags with my swing coach Mark Immelman for the next few months.

I'll give y'all another update in the next couple weeks when I've got a clearer picture on the exact date of my return.

Have a good day and God Bless.
