A Concussion Discussion

Admittedly I am new to this site and am still trying to find my way and my voice here.  Obviously I never played Major League Baseball – or professional ball of any kind.  My game –  since I was 5 yrs old  – is golf.  At first I simply followed Dad around the course, but later I moved on to USGA Women’s Golf tournaments in the Greater NYC area.
