Gene
Watson is best known as a legendary country
singer but he is also one dedicated golfer.
Gene tore ligaments in his left hand while
playing a round of golf in Houston Texas last
Saturday (2 February 2008). The separated
ligaments caused a knuckle to extend from the
socket. Gene just happened to have a
paramedic among his golfing partners who
recommended they head to the emergency room but
Gene insisted on finishing the game.
According to Gene, 'It
was excruciating pain but I was hoping to finish
the round & bring up my score which up to the
11th hole was pretty dismal. Unfortunately
my game went decidedly downhill from there'.
A Houston physician put Gene's hand in a soft
cast & although he is unable to use his left
hand, being the trouper he is, Gene will still
travel to Nashville for his appearance on the
'Crook & Chase Show' this Wednesday 6 February
2008 (the show will air on the RFD-TV network on
Thursday 7, Friday 8 & Saturday 10 February
2008). Gene &
Rhonda Vincent will perform their duet
'Together again' from Gene's latest album 'In
a Perfect World' on
Shanachie Records.
Gene will also make an appearance on the
hallowed stage of The Grand Ole Opry in
Nashville this Friday 8 February 2008. An
appointment with an orthopedic surgeon is
scheduled for Monday 11 February 2008 to
determine if surgery is necessary.
Here's wishing Gene a speedy recovery!
