I had a complete rotator cuff tear repaired on August 4th, 2017. I've been dealing with a bad shoulder for years, and finally, at age 51...got it fixed by Dr. Benton Emblom at Andrews Sports Medicine. I'm a little over 6 months out, and it is obvious I'm not at 100% strength in that shoulder. However, because I love competing, I signed up for my 3rd Open with a shoulder at about 60%. I plan on being smart and doing what I can, but I doubt my numbers this year will be anything to crow about. It's going to be fun, that's all I know, and we will see how things turn out. Next year, God willing...this shoulder will be 100%, and I can really work on improving my performance in my age group.
