I got $100 on Smoltzy if someone gives me 3 strokes.

Is golf a smart activity for someone rehabbing from shoulder surgery?

worry about baseball, you pompous clown

Best of all-time with a question mark? Is this even debatable any more?

okay:

1, I'll take that action

2, golf is worst for the knees (all that torque)

3, you're an idiot

4, no, it's not a question. The dude one a major on one leg. Nobody else could do that.

He once lost to Tiger by 1 stroke. He's a pretty amazing golfer.

Chrs, Smoltz is, has been, and always will be a class act.

No debate, no question. Especially after Sunday's finish. Tiger would have eaten Jack for lunch if they were contemporaries. (Sorry, Jack). That's Jack, former best of all-time Nicklaus.

Of course it's debatable. When you're chasing somebody elses records it means there is someone that has done more. Is he well on his way? Absoloutely. Certainly debatable.

The guy isn't allowed to swing a golf club now? A golf swing is a natural motion for the shoulder, unlike pitching...but you knew that since you are a doctor and all, right?

@ jimdavis - I was just asking, is all. No need to be an ass.

Smoltz could have been a pro golfer if he hadent chosen to pitch, he has a good round and tiger shows hes human, i bet he can take him

Actually, I am an avid golfer, I have been playing for over 20 years now, I am a 6 handicap. I can all of you a few things about the golf swing and what it does to the body because I have had different "ailments" from the swing.
A golf swing is NOT a natural motion for the shoulders. It requires you to reach across your body both forward AND backwards while twisting you back and hips, all while holding this position through the legs. The reason Tiger hurt his knee is because of the amount of torque he generates in his golf swing. Eventually Tiger will have to change his swing to alleviate the stress on his joints....Freddy Couples had to do it, all long hitters eventually do.
As far as damage to Smoltz's shoulders....the type of motion in a gold swing is a diffrent range of motion from that of throwing a baseball.....The golf swing wont effect that area....where the swing DOES hurt the shoulders is in the area where the shoulders and the bicep/ tricep area meet. Over time, frequently swinging the clubs daily will create some wear in that rea. This is all from experience and input of many physicians and/or physical therapists..
Note I still havent quit the game though, as it is my drug of choice.

Steven, I think we're all dumber for reading that.
