Usually its caused through over use of weakened part of the body over a number of years. Yes Boxall slipped and broke his leg which was a total freak accident. Could happen anywhere. I've played golf for many years, sometimes twice a week and once hurt my thumb... that's about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played golf for many years, sometimes twice a week and once hurt my thumb... that's about it I get your point but Hooper is coming back from a very long-term injury so he's not playing golf completely fit anyway. I just hope he doesn't have another setback and really hope he doesn't have one that can reasonably be attributed to playing golf The brown stuff would really hit the fan then....

Footballers do have to have a life too. Now if he was skipping training or rehab it’d be a huge problem. Maybe some players could have a less frivolous attitude to what they post on social media as it can have a negative effect. This situation however shouldn’t be the case. This exactly. I'm sure he's been informed what he's allowed and not allowed to do so as to not aggravate his injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quist Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 If he is actually playing golf it suggests to me he knows he is finished. If he has pain in leg as was stated I can not see how golf is either therapy or part of process of recovery. In last few months of contract having not played for 10 months I would be doing my all to get fit unless you know it is futile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hip injuries are very common in golf......... As are shoulder and back issues too .. Good warm up exercises are vital to playing golf .. As are most sports ....

I've played golf for many years, sometimes twice a week and once hurt my thumb... that's about it I swear this is true. When I lived overseas in the early 80’s my old man got some clubs cut down with a view to me taking up the sport. Decided to go out and knock a few balls around. Whacked one with a 3 wood and the last thing I saw was it hit a tree about 20m in front of me. Woke up ?? later with a massive head ache and a huge bruise on my forehead. Can’t be many people who can lay claim to knocking themselves out with their own gold ball. After getting bitten by a snake in the long grass about a month later searching for my Dad’s sliced ball, I decided to call it a day with golf, much to the annoyance of my old man. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who in their right mind are going to offer a unfit crock a contract any where near what he is getting at the moment.. Pay as you play maybe ? Your gravy train is drying up Mr Hooper, enjoy your golf. Major problem? Give over. He'll have racked up a lovely bank balance during his career. Not to mention his stint at S6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinOwlMan Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Absolutely hilarious that people have a problem with him playing golf. And that he should want to show that he is playing at one of the country's top courses, a real test of golf. Good for you Gary, hope you had a great round and while you're up in Scotland enjoy more of the amazing courses up there. I'm really happy you're doing something during your rehab that is enjoyable, gets fresh air in the lungs and gives some gentle but sustained exercise. Keep off the games consoles and on the fairways, you'll be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
