(Pocketwiley/Flickr)GOING THROUGH THE STACK of mail this past weekend, I spotted a large red envelope with a Florida postmark. Inside was a Christmas card with Santa Claus sipping an umbrella drink on the beach and this letter printed on holiday stationery:
Christmas 2008(Editor�s note: ARMCHAIR GOLF interviewed Tiger�s Left Knee three times in 2008, in May, early June and late June.)
It was another exciting year for the Woods-Nordegren family. As usual for us, there was golf, travel, visits with family and friends, and a lot of downtime (for Tiger and me), which was a nice change of pace.
Of course, the year�s big news is that Elin and Tiger are expecting their second child this winter! The room is about ready, but we won�t know if the baby will be a boy or girl until the big day. The excitement is building �
Now a toddler, Sam is growing faster than U.S. Open rough. She is a busy little girl and keeps Elin and Tiger (and me) going all the time. She reminds me of her dad.
Tiger�s work as a professional golfer went well, except he had to take the second half of the year off because I had surgery. (More on that in a moment.) Tiger only played in six tournaments, but he won four of them, so that was good. One was the U.S. Open. That was a pretty big deal.
As I mentioned, I had surgery (my third) with the same specialist, Dr. Rosenberg of Utah, or �Rosey,� as I call him. Everything went well and I expect to make a full recovery. I�d like to say I�m used to the surgery-rehab routine, but, to be honest, it�s never easy. I�m glad that I�m feeling better than I have in years and slowly returning to normal activities. I just have to be patient. (No golf yet.)
I need to stop here because I still have Christmas shopping to do. I have to pick up something for Luke Donald�s wrist and Adam Scott�s knee. (They�re so hard to shop for.)
All in all, we have much to be thankful for and look forward to a great 2009.
Wishing you and yours the very best this holiday season and in the new year,
Tiger�s Left Knee
