After what seemed like an eternity, I finally saw an orthopedic specialist about my knee.
Unfortunately, there’s still a little mystery, but some things were eliminated and we have an idea of the problem. He checked the stability in my knee and was satisfied that the ligaments are all in tact. None of the pretzel-twisting tests he did caused me any discomfort, so that’s a good thing.

Patriot Golf day was founded by Major Dan Rooney, call sign ‘Noonan’, a pilot in the Oklahoma Air National Guard who is also a PGA professional. Unless I have my facts wrong, when I wrote about Patriot Golf Day this time last year, Maj. Rooney was a Captain, so [...]
