It was definitely a year of two halves for my golf.

After a three-week break in May\/June, I started to feel pain in my left shoulder \u2014 a pain which was quite familiar. My game wasn\u2019t the same from then on, and eventually, at the start of December, it was discovered that I had re-torn my labrum in my left shoulder and needed an operation to repair it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wallaceboothgolf.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/12\/img_0707.jpg?w=676\" alt=\"IMG_0707\" class=\"wp-image-263\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I had surgery on December 15th and so far I\u2019m recovering well. It will be a minimum of six months before I will be able to compete, but I am just taking one day at a time. It will be essential to find out why this same injury has happened again, especially since I\u2019ve been very careful since my last operation. This includes what I have and haven\u2019t been doing in the gym, and proper warm-ups before playing. I\u2019m hoping for a speedy and successful recovery to get me back on the course, but I know one day at a time is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wallaceboothgolf.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/12\/img_2556.jpg?w=676\" alt=\"IMG_2556\" class=\"wp-image-259\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As the year comes to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my sponsors for their support this year.
