This dude severely dislocated his ankle while celebrating a hole-in-one, reached down and popped it back in place like it was no big deal, and then scored a 4 under 68 in the first round of the Masters. This golfer is hockey tuff. :shock:

A golfer who's going to relax in the off-season by playing a lot of hockey, perhaps?

Hockey players don’t injur themselves celebrating.

Nope. But they do injure themselves on golf carts.

nice subtle attempt at making this hockey-related, but sorry - golf will never belong in the main forum.

That must of been part of his resume that DA loved when he signed him this past off-season ;)

Every rule has its exceptions - and I knew someone would find one - but generally speaking, the label of "hockey player" doesn't come to mind when I witness someone hurting himself while celebrating.
