Video Transcript
I'm feeling fantastic.
You know, rehab's been going great.
It's a little boring, you know, it's just calf raises after calf raises after calf raises.
But I'm enjoying the process, and I think I'm a little bit ahead of schedule.
My surgeon's incredibly happy with where I'm at.
And so just keep taking it one day at a time, be smart with it.
and my-- the advice that my surgeon keeps giving to me is just, "Hey, don't be an idiot and don't try to be a superhero, and just do what I t- do what you're supposed to do, and you're gonna have all the success that you wanna have."
Right when I got hurt, this is the weird way that athletes think.
I'm laying on the field after I tear my Achilles, and my first thought was, "Ah, this stinks."
And my second thought was, "This is gonna ruin my golf game this off-season."
It's literally my second thought.
It didn't.
It didn't.
I'm golfing.
You were fine.
I'm golfing, so don't worry about it.
When I got out of surgery, the first question I asked my surgeon was, "Am I gonna be able to golf in late March?"
Because I had a trip to Bandon Dunes with my boys.
And I did.
We went, and I golfed.
It was fantastic
