Any update on Grace?

The Vulcan · 09-25-2009, 02:46 PM

Anyone know if she's still coming back this year or is she taking a medical exemption??? More importantly, how is her health?

I'm afraid on this I do not know...but my guess...as most people would guess...is that she would take a medical exemption...she only played 4 full field events...I haven't been able to find updated news lately about Grace...

The last thing I heard was that she would be back in August: Seattle Post-Intelligencer: Golf

...obviously, that did not happen...but perhaps that is not such a bad thing...rest, recover...don't try to push it...

...I can't read her mind or anything, so what I am about to say is purely speculation...but I wonder, with all she has been through with her back and health issues with hip surgery, if she decided to take the rest of the year off and ready herself for one possible last push on the LPGA...don't quote me...I'm not a friend of hers or anything, so I wouldn't know...I'm just a fan that is worried about her...and with injury after injury after injury...I just wonder if she comes back and her back gives out on her again or her hip flares up...well...I worry....I just want Grace to have a healthy and happy life...of course, my blog entry was about how the LPGA would benefit from her presence...and I believe that...but that is a secondary concern for me...my primary wish for Grace is, as I said, health and happiness...

Thanx for the response. I think all of us Grace fans are hoping she takes all the time she needs to get healthy before she attempts to come back.

Many here and else where, are awaiting her return to. Yet only if she has healed with the hip, and her strength is back up to compete well. The LPGA these days is a GRIND, with so many great players in it.... young and old. I think she well be back in the hunt for wins next year. And with a new hip.... look out sisters.... Hurricanes can go right through you. :-)

Where did Grace go to get her surgery?
Is she rehabing at her home or in Korea?

This doesn't really qualify as "news", but here is a video a fan posted of Grace a couple of months ago on YouTube from 2003 saying hello to a fan...

...with so little Grace news to report, just a few words from Ji Eun is cause to celebrate...
