SURGE SAYS: The 2009 Masters'¦Kenny Perry, Mud on his Ball in the Middle of the Fairway'¦We Need a Rules Change.
I got a call from the father of one of my regular students, a high school golfer. His son, Josh, was playing poorly in matches and the playoffs were coming up next week, and as he said, Josh was in need of major 'surgery.'
I got this great question from 'Tom' and I had to share it ' and my answer ' with everyone.

Shoulder Injury: Recovery and Rehab
I know I just wrote about Bob's back , but I recently received an e-mail from Patty, who lives in Kansas City, Mo. She asked some questions that I felt were important and needed to be answered to all our visitors.
