Unbelievable. Ludwig Aberg had surgery on his leading knee – yet another casualty of modern golf instruction. Ladies and gentlemen, this has got to stop. As a fifty-three year golfer of fifty-five years, with no surgeries in my life, I can carry a bag and walk thirty-six holes. WHY are young golfers in need of surgeries? You’ve heard me say it ad infinitum.
Modern golf instruction is responsible for Ludwig Aberg’s condition. However, it’s not just him. Rahm, Johnson, Koepka, Day, Woods, and many, many more have gone under the knife as if it’s just another part of having a professional golf career. When I heard that Ludwig Aberg had surgery on his leading knee, I had to post out of frustration alone.
I blame Haney and Tiger for this devolution of golf swing awareness. However, we could just as easily impugn Ledbetter, Cowan, Como, McLean, Kelley, and their interlopers for contributing mis- and dis- information to deepen the problem. If you believe, as I do, that swinging a golf club should be an injury-free endeavor, then their part in the dodge has been an unconscionable exercise.
By the way, Jordan Speith is now coming back from his own surgery. It’s an epidemic! I pray that the common sense and personable responsibility of prior generations, for their own game, will visit the new. Otherwise, cutters are going to have a consistent revenue stream full of young golfers. And that is BS.
Watch the following video if you want to hear a voice on the matter. It’s not about celebrity, so please enjoy looking at my rug. I have failed to produce a video a day, as suggested with the new year. However, I have picked up the pace. You can find them on YouTube at the following link @theopenstanceacademy487 .
