AT TODAYS MINI AT MACK TAYLOR, MIKE TREAT SLIPPED OFF HOLE 8'S TEE PAD AND BROKE HIS ANKEL.

HOPE YOU GET WELL SOON MIKE....

DAN BOUGHER

man that sucks
sorry to hear that about mr treat
get well soon

Yeah Mike, Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Hope you heal fast

No way...that sucks...

Mike was playing on the card in front of us. I just happened to see his drive and his fall. At first I thought it was just antics of a bad shot, then he didn't get up and the other players started yelling. I hurried over to check on him, He was laying just in front of the tee box, I asked, "what the hell Happened?" He said, "it's broke, it sounded like a disc hitting the tree." :o
"****", I said, "is there anything I can do?"
Mike remained very calm and told me to just let him lay there.

So, my next question just had to be "Do you mind if we play through?" :D

At least I got a smile out of him.



Good luck Mike, heal up fast. ;)



Then to top off all of that, young Treat "OPIE", drives the car around to follow the amblulance out. I notice Mike's bag still on the ground, so I hollar at OPIE and he gets out of the car to get it.........BUT...........leaves the car running with the doors locked, on the side of the highway. Well, after I got my laughing under control, along with the fire department, they called the Sperry police back out and they were still working on it by the time the mini was over.
I just hope OPIE still isn't out on the highway.

Just got off the phone with Andrew.....Mike broke his ankle all the way through. Will be at the orthopedic surgeon's office today.

**** it man!! That sucks, I hope you heal up fast Mike.

heal quickly Treat. that suxs

Looks like no HOB for you my friend. :( Get well soon Mike.

Thanks for your support. I can't beleive this happened.

I see the surgeon at 2:00 so hopefully they will build me a bionic ankle :cool:

Sorry I held everyone up, I really thought Twoputt would play through!!!

Get well soon my friend. Don't be shy with the pain meds......can only imagine how bad that felt.

You will be back in no time....might be good time to develop a good stand still forehand shot for a while.

Give's new meaning to the SNAP disc golf video....If we only knew that this was going to happen we could have had your own MTV Scarred video. RELAX AND ENJOY YOUR DAYS OFF FROM THE J. O. B!

You will be back in no time....might be good time to develop a good stand still forehand shot for a while.



Sorry to hear about the cankle Mikey!

I agree with Kev - Disc Golf is great rehab activity once you can get around! It's what helped me recover from my leg injury....

... have them install a " laser-device-direction-finder-and-global-measurement-with-optional-wind-direction-and-speed-with-barometric-pressure-sensors " in one of your new "bionic-toes" ... I think(?) they can also install a "mosquito-and-tick-repellent-spray-nozzle" in one of your pinkie-toes ...

... push-the-envelope ... go high-tech ...

... get well soon ...

Sorry to hear about your mishap. Take care and get well soon.

Why is Marshall St so awesome? These Guys! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kmvi6f4EaKU) :D:D:D:D:D

WOW!!
Maybe this should get some air play, if you can break bones playing disc golf it must be a sport and not just hippies throwing a frisbee in the park!
hope they use good quality plates and screws to put you back together again.
But no fair practicing a forehand shot that is the only gimmick i have that most others don't!

Get well soon hope you can keep the recovery time down to the 6 to 8 week range!

Mike: I am a doctor. As the worlds leading atomic brain scientist and medical specialist, I would have thought you would have called me first. Under the circumstances, I dont blame you, as I was unavailable anyway. However, if you arent pleased with you primary care physician and the medical team involved in your repair and recovery, please dont hesitate to contact my office. I will be more than glad to consult as needed. Get well soon. Doc

Holy crap Mike. Thats one way to get out of going to HOTB :oTake care friend.

Any update on the surgery?

If they couldn't fix it, I have some duct tape. Duct tape will fix anything ;)

it can even make him faster

its also known as 200 mile an hour tape!

My surgery is Thursday at 7:00 am

The surgeon said it was a good break, as far as they go.

The pain is manageable if I keep the meds flowing. So far so good.

Am I the only one to sustain a major injury playing Disc Golf???

It would make me feel better if somone has a few stories of others injuries..

Maybe I am the only PDGA player to be this uncoordinated :(

I did hear of a guy that fell walking up a hill and stuck a stick through his shoulder.

I have heard of some pretty nasty eye injuries.

I saw a broken nose at Duncan.

But you are the first I have seen taken away by ambulance. :D

... so , did he birdie the hole , or what ? ... ;)

The shot was good, but he refused to drag himself down there and finish the hole. :o:D

LOL, thanks for that post, you just cheered up my day...

I still do not have confirmation that anyone can run the mini tonight, I will keep everyone posted...

Call me. ;)

Furdog is running the mini...

Thanks to everyone that offered...

I heard a story about this guy named Jake,broke his arm!!!

Actually, Jake tried to stop some 2nd graders from stealing one of the baskets and they beat him up. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif....Although he deserves an honorable mention for trying to protect the course, he did not earn his injury in the heat of battle against fellow disc golfers. ;)

Dammitt Mike thats a real bummer, did you slip off the front end of the tee box and turn it or was it a slip off the side? I've thought about that before, some of these tee boxes have a 4-6 inch drop off from every angle.

I pray the surgery will go well and you get back out on the course soon.

Sorry to hear the bad news, Mr. Treat.

Here's an idea...
see if you can use a wheelchair. I'm sure you could do some sick 360s in one of those bad boys.

Alright...

Dad is doing well...

They put like 5 screws in his ankle....

I thought that seemed like a lot but what do I know...

He is doing well now anyway....resting at home for 4 to 6 weeks....

.......full recovery expected......

Thanks for everyones concern....

Opie Out...

... thanks fur the update , mr.Opie ...

Glad the surgery went well.
Hang in there Mike.
Thanks for the Update Red.
D.P. :D

Now someone could possibly be accurate when they say "He's got a few screws loose" :D Good luck on your recovery.

Thanks again for everyones concern.

This really sucks and I still can't beleive it happened.

The more I think about I am pretty sure Trey tripped me as I threw my drive. Oh well, these kids are learning early these days.

Thanks again, surely it won't take 4 to 6 weeks, at least I hope not..

... hey Michael ... how's the rehab been ... are you ready to throw again ? ...
.
... I'm sure that Mitchell or Martin would teach you their "sidearm shot" ... less torque on the ankle ... ;)

Mike, I agree with Wayne. Use the injury as an opportunity to strengthen your game. I did this when I suffered a rotator cuff injury with my tennis game & had to learn a flat serve because the spin serve hurt too much. I ended up a better tennis player because of it.
