WPGA International Challenge
Now in England the season of 2013 has been so much fun. The people i have gotten to meet the places i have gotten to travel to and the experiences i have gotten to collect has been plenty. And this week was turning out to be no different. The first day I played a great pro-am with some fantastic people and i had a really good round of golf as well. With 6 birdies and only one bogey my practice round was what i call a success and i was really looking forward to the event to start so i could take the good feeling out in the event.
I started the event really well and was soon well under par and the opportunities kept coming as i was hitting the ball close to the hole but not really making any putts.... BUT on the back nine my right shoulder (this time) popped and out of nowhere both my arms were now dislocated..... I guess it wasnt enough that my left shoulder dislocated a month back but now having it happen to my right one as well is just crazy! ( feeling i have to mention that i am very hypermobile meaning that all my joints are very easily hyperextended so for me to dislocate a joint is not as hard nor painful as it would be for a "normal" person - but its still painful and can be very damaging. ) I finished playing the round even though my scorecard took a big turn. I was in pain but ok enough to play the second round and i must say i did a pretty good job shooing 72 but it wasnt enough in the end and i ended up missing the cut by one shot! VERY disappointed i retuned with only 4 birdies and one eagle..... but the focus need to be on my shoulders now and not the results so that i can come back from this injury quick because two dislocated shoulders can be a carrier ending story if your not smart when it comes to rehab and rest.
Turns out i was the poster girl for this event :)
