                            After visiting with the doctor and discovering that x-rays were negative, I was instructed to rest for 2-3 weeks. After that time period the doctor said that I should be ready to resume normal activity. Once the 3 weeks were up I tried to play a few holes and immediately was struck with some immense pain. I stopped playing and went to the doctor’s to get re-examined again. The doctor was confused on what could be wrong, so he ordered another x-ray from additional angles. The results came back that I had almost completely cracked through the sixth rib on my left side. I was happy to finally find out the source of all my pain. Unfortunately though, the doctor told me that because of the severity of the crack it would be another 6 weeks before I would heal. This would mean an extended time of no practice, no playing, and no working out. It has been 4 weeks since my last visit to the doctor and I am almost pain free. I am going to go back to the doctor in a week or two and get an x-ray to hopefully get clearance to get back to practicing. This has been a difficult time for me to have no physical activity. I would like to thank my friends and family for all of their support. I look forward to get back to playing and am more determined than ever to make it to the PGA Tour.
