This email from Kenneth conjured up an ear-to-ear smile on my face.
As you can read below... Kenneth details the chronology to his best golf score ever. I guess bovine (cow) valve replacement and atrial fibrillation helps your heart and your golf game!
Adam:
April 25, 2008: Aortic valve replacement (bovine)
April 30, 2008: First incident of atrial fibrillation
May 02, 2008: Second incident of a-fib
May 04, 2008: Third incident of a-fib
May 06, 2008: Out of hospital of a-fib
October 06, 2008: First "Hole In One" and shot 83; Best Score Ever
Thanks for your heart valve book and your encouragement.
