I was hitting the ball the best I have in several years Wednesday morning, but my lower back grabbed me while I was exiting the green side bunker on No. 16. It was all I could do to walk from the 16th green to the parking lot, load my golf bag and push cart in the back of my minivan and drive home.
After getting very little sleep Wednesday night, I went to my chiropractor during the lunch hour Thursday. He performed a procedure on my back and said it was a disk (sp?) on the lower right side of my back. We scheduled another appointment for Monday and he recommended I not play golf until he says it is all right to do it again. He did say I could mow my lawn, though.
I went for a 3+ mile walk this morning and my back seemed to improve during the walk. Once I got home, I went outside and mowed our lawn. We have a sizable yard, but it was relatively easy to mow like normal.
Even though I would love to play golf, I am going to follow my chiropractor's instructions because he is extremely knowledgeable. Hopefully, I will get to play golf next week during my days off. If not, at least I'll go for some walks.
By the way, I am very excited about playing golf again because I believe I can begin scoring in the mid 80s and lower on a regular basis. Golf is good!
