Not a good thing for anyone to be going through, even more so a golfer who plays most of the year in the better weather. Jaysus H, that must be frustrating. Hopefully you’re back on the golf course in no time.
I’m hoping within 6 weeks Marko but before then I’m hoping to be ok to go to Madrid on 18 Feb for the Athletico v Liverpool game in the Champions League. I also need to beat Hallam back to fitness, I can’t have her running around ahead of me.
Back on topic, I wonder how the pitch held up today ?

It's was heavy down the wings with plenty of sand. It did not cut up as much as I expected.

Wasn't a lot of bounce on it lol, one early lofted ball hit the pitch and hardly bounced at all.

Metalwork comes out tomorrow (Monday) for me Charny
..... swelling of said foot still a major problem though and time on feet affects that .
You need to ice the pants off that knee and keep moving it plus do your Quads exercise . Work hard munchkin, it’ll be worth it and you’ll get back in your feet sooner . Normally takes about 4-6 weeks . Good luck

Just watching the Liverpool Man U game. The contrast in the pitch to Tranmere's is beyond belief bearing in mind they are only a few miles apart

State of the art underfloor heating, pop up sprinkler systems and the best drainage money can buy gives most Premiership football clubs a playing surface most football clubs only see in August. Looking at Anfield today even the 6 yard box looks like the first game of the season for any club outside the Premier League.

Amazing how times change. Tranmere’s pitch would have been the norm in DIv 1 until the 90’s.
I recall the Old Trafford pitch being about the worse in the early years of the Premier League.
