A few months ago, I started getting some symptoms from tarsal tunnel syndrome again, but not as bad this time. It seems that whenever I spend long periods of time on my feet or go out for a run, the symptoms start to creep back within a couple of days. This time, I went to an orthopedic surgeon who determined that I wouldn’t need surgery but I should definitely see a physical therapist.
After not going to the range for a couple of weeks, I played the back 9 holes at Woodley Lakes golf course this weekend. I walked away, having shot +8 over those 9 holes. I would have been better but I triple bogeyed the last hole after losing the ball on my second shot. This beats my previous best on the back 9, which was a +12. Obviously I was really excited and then played the front 9 the next day, wondering if it was just a fluke. This time, I shot a +6, which I ended with a double bogey. Obviously it isn’t one single round of 18, but if you do add it up, that’s an 86, which beats my previous personal best by 10 strokes!
