    In March of 2018 my left leg collapsed and I fell in my house I could not get up so off to the hospital I went.After 2 weeks they decided I needed therapy so off to a rehab facility for 2 weeks with no luck still can't walk..So I went to UC Davis Hospital on Sacramento on April 2018 where they found I had 2 disc's in the thoracic part of my spine that needed to be removed a 6 hour procedure that if all went well I would have a 80% chance to walk again I told my surgeon,look all I want is to get out of the golf cart hit my ball go back to the cart go find my ball and hit it again,he that should not be a problem.On April 6 2018 I went under the knife all went well but I was paralyzed from the waist down .Now the fun begins.I was doing therapy twice a day for 6 days a week until I left in June 2018 had gained some movement in my left leg my right leg lost a little strength but was able to put weight on it so off to another rehab facility for 2 weeks then home on June 29 2018 for home therapy then off to St Josephs Therapy center in September 2018 where I am at now..I am still in a wheel chair but I can stand on my own, balance is still shaky.I can use a walker under supervision so making progress.I log on to Team Titleist everyday and read all of your posts about your equipment,new equipment,travel,and everything else.This helps my work even harder at therapy so I can get back out there.I thank all of you at Team Titleist and Titleist for giving me extra motivation to tee it up again thank you all for being my golf therapy..

  23. Steve,

    Our prayers are with you for your continued progress. Be patient, your time will come. Over the past 10 years I have had three major operations. Heart bypass, knee replacement, and major rotator cuff. In all cases the doctors said that if I followed their directions I would get back to the course. I did and I did. Do what your people say and don't push things. Golf has been around for a very long time and I'm pretty sure it will be for a while longer. You'll get there. God bless.

    thank you Mark..I always push myself to take that one extra step or on more set when working out my legs but never to the point that I will injure myself..
