Why I'm Returning to Golf After a Hemorrhagic Stroke | Back Nine Ep. 1

After surviving a massive hemorrhagic stroke in my basal ganglia, I wasn’t certain how much of my former life—or my golf game—I would ever regain. In Episode 1 of *Stroke of Genius: Back Nine*, my wife Bobbi interviews me about why I created this project, who I hope it reaches, and what you can expect as I work toward returning to the golf course. This is about more than lowering a score. It is about rebuilding confidence, testing what is still possible, and documenting recovery honestly—including the victories, frustrations, adjustments, and surprises along the way. In the episodes ahead, you’ll follow my practices, lessons with PGA professional Parker Janssen, equipment changes, on-course challenges, and the people helping make this return possible. Whether you are a stroke survivor, caregiver, golfer, or someone working toward a comeback of your own, I hope you’ll find something here that reminds you to keep moving forward. Every swing is therapy. Every round is progress. Please subscribe and follow the journey. In the comments, tell me what you are working to get back to—or who you are watching for.
