Bell's Palsy

  I just found out I have Belll's Palsy. The left side of my face will not move, and is numb. Plus my left eye will not open, and I am left-handed( Left eye dominant). The doctor said it could last a few weeks up to a few months. Any helpful hints on how to play this game with 1 eye will be put to good use.

  Thanks in advance,

  David T.

  Don't have much advice. Just thought I'd mention that I'm just getting over a case of same. Mine was never that severe. My eyelid just drooped some. The numbness is almost gone. Question: Do things taste strange? I noticed that my sour receptors were working overtime for a while. A dill pickle was a trip. Now darn near everything tastes a little sweet. 

  Just wondering.

  Lost my left eye in a car accident many years ago, after some months of physical recovery, I also conquered the mental side by sheer bloodymindedness.

  My real golf improved, my darts play and snooker playing improved, all I struggle with nowadays is pouring a glass of wine without tapping the rim first.

  I find this game far more challenging while I have to play it with 1 eye. Now when I miss the greens, it feels more like real golf for me. Just the same, I will keep on hitting them and getting more Bogeys while I am at it.
