We're pretty deep into golf season, and you've probably suffered a few nagging injuries by now.
One that often crops up for me is tendonitis in my wrists and forearms, but here's a simple remedy I've used to great effect.
DM for info on a golf training plan tailored for you!

IDGAF if the Wilson hit was shoulder-on-shoulder or shoulder-to-head. You can hit a guy in a lot of places and still be effective. That's a hit to hurt a guy, plain and simple. ZAR should have sore ribs right now, not a broken jaw and a concussion.
