Granted, I Know Rather Little About Golf

But I have to think that Tiger Woods is nothing short of superhuman after having read this:
Tiger Woods has decided to have surgery on his left knee, which will end his 2008 season.
Woods said on his Web site that he will have surgery on his anterior cruciate ligament. He also wrote that he needs time to rehabilitate a double stress fracture of his left tibia, which he said was discovered just before the Memorial Tournament in late May.
And he revealed that he originally ruptured the ACL in 2007 while running at his home in Orlando after the British Open. He said he decided not to have surgery at that point, and he went on to win five of the next six events he entered (through his Target World Challenge in December).
"He's been playing way less than 100 percent for a long, long, time," his swing coach, Hank Haney, said. "It has limited him a lot in practice. He's going to come back better than he's ever been."
Considering what Woods has been able to achieve while injured, Haney's comments have to be terrifying for other players on the professional tour.
Really? Golfs sport?

Cant wait for the Darts update. I heard some poker player won a tournament with a chipped nail. What a warrior
IM KIDDING IM KIDDING

Your comment in understandable

because so few understand the strain put on the body during a golf swing... That alone requires physical fitness (not going to include incidental physical requirements). Play 36 holes competition (walking of course) and then get back to me... Both physical and mental requirements are required full time.
Yea, I would take Darts anytime...although Poker does take a tremendous toll mentally...
You non-golfers (and non-players) slay me...
Formally known as Deagle... "Golf is a way of life..."
Recorded his last tournament (pain and all) and am hanging onto the DVDs since they just could be his last appearance. I believe that his play with health problems has shown just what a wonderful player he has been.
Love Haney's comments also... Really enjoyed Rocco also and wish him many future wins.

Yet another reason to conclude that it's not healthy to exercise!
