Jobe returns to the PGA Tour
If you follow golf, you'll know who Brandt Jobe is. If you don't, you'll be interested in today's post only because it shows that injuries can be overcome and you can continue playing golf at the highest levels after them.
Jobe's never won a PGA Tour event, but over the last 28 years of professional golf, he's amassed over $6 million in earnings. In 2003, though, he broke his left wrist; a year later, he broke it again. Both times, he returned to competitive golf and continued to play well.
Last year, Jobe was sweeping his garage when the broom broke and the tips of the fingers on his right hand were sliced off. He was able to find a doctor who specialized in re-attachments and he's now making his return to the PGA Tour.
The PODS Championship this week will be Jobe's first event of 2007.
While many would have thought his career would have ground to a halt with the wrist injuries, this most recent comeback shows just how much can be overcome when you want to continue playing a game you love. Let's all think about that the next time we have a bad round and swear we're gonna give up the game.
