Greg Norman unsure if he’ll be able to play golf again
Greg Norman’s left hand is on the mend, but it might never be what it was before a September chainsaw accident. As his recovery continues, Norman is uncertain if he’ll be able to play golf again.
“Well we don’t know yet, we don’t know,” Norman said on Fox Business Network on Thursday. “I had my first swing in the gym the other day, not hitting a golf ball but just swinging a light weighted golf club and it definitely feels different. I mean I have to build up a lot of the muscle that was torn away here. Chainsaw does a good job, when you chainsaw a log you see all those chips come out, a little bit of flesh in there too.”
It doesn’t seem the accident has deterred the two-time Open Championship winner from continuing to take on this kind of work himself.
“I’m a Mr. Do It man,” he said. “I like to get in there and do everything. If I can do it myself I’m going to do it.”
The 59-year-old Aussie doesn’t play much golf these days, however, teeing it up just five or six times in 2014, by his estimation. With a course-design business, wineries and other ventures, the two-time major winner really doesn’t have much time to play.
“I love being a living brand,” he said, “I love growing it, I love seeing opportunities out there and the global market place is just extraordinary right now.”
