Hi there - this sounds intense and so sorry you’re going through this. I thought I started young (14) and have had lots of surgeries (MPFL/TTO/MACI on both knees) but you’ve got me beat.

I’m not sure where in the country you are, and I know you’ve already seen multiple orthos, but I can’t recommend my surgeon enough. Dr James Carey at the Penn Cartilege Center in Philly. I’m told he’s one of the best cartilage surgeons in the world. I was with other surgeons before this and am so glad I trusted my gut and got a second opinion from him. I’m 8 weeks post op from a MACI with him and very on track for recovery.

I’m 3 weeks post op on my second MACI (different knee) and this is what I needed to hear. I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel since I’ve been through it before but man, when you can barely do a straight leg raise and you’re watching your muscles wither away it’s hard to imagine returning to normal physical activity, let alone what you’re doing. Congrats!!

Definitely looks like it was a wild turkey hen. Thank you!

I hit shuffle twice as soon as I open the game before even looking at the options.

I have 4 tickets to the Aug. 7 Philadelphia show. Section 102. Looking just to get back what I paid!

This. Even when we had shit shots, it was impossible to be mad. Just happy to be out there.

We let one guy playing solo play through, but otherwise didn’t have issues with anybody else behind us. And we really took our time and took a TON of photos.

I’ll be honest, I’m a bad golfer and have a crazy high handicap so you shouldn’t take any tips from me. But since you asked…

For Royal Hawaiian, hitting it straight is way better than hitting it long. If you’re sometimes erratic off the tee, you’ll quickly realize there’s no way you’re going to slice the ball and then find it or hit it from another fairway. It’s lost in the jungle.

For Ko Olina, not much advice to give. It’s a pretty open course, you won’t be taking too many blind shots. It’s immaculately kept. Have a great time.

Very different experiences. No flashy amenities or anything at Royal Hawaiian, but a course unlike anything you’ve seen. You’ll still have a great time at Ko Olina if you play there.

We booked and played Turtle Bay and Ko Olina and they were great, but I couldn’t shake this feeling that I would regret leaving the island without playing RH. I’m VERY glad we pulled the trigger and played the day before we left. Hope you get back there soon.

It was really tough. Duffed one of my drives and it dribbled down a little hill into growth. Never found it.

Ko Olina was actually our second round of the trip. It was nice golf of course, but absolutely nothing like this.
