Good buddy of Bill Clinton, if I recall.

I do hope he heals well.

"Chainsaw" is not a word you want appearing in your ER admissions report.

I'd have to say a chainsaw is something a professional athlete should never even think about touching!

Hire somebody dude!

I have met classical musicians / piano players who have insured their hands for millions - but the insurance company also stipulates they don’t engage in activities that involve things like table-saws, meat slicers, chain saws, presses, etc...

Am surprised a professional golfer wouldn’t have the same....

Call me what you want, but I leave the chainsaws for those paid to use them. I’ve seen too many injuries.

It’s a wet and rainy day ... I think I’ll start a conspiracy.

Greg Norman is a notorious gambler. I wonder if he’s behind with his bookies.

I believe it has been a few years since Greg Norman last played professional golf.

Makes his living with his hands...is worth tens of millions...and *he’s* doing the sawing? Next we’ll be seeing surgeons doing the same thing.

That could be the same place where Bubba broke his leg in the middle of the night. And the same place where his wife was giving a tour to other tour wives and they walked in on Greg in bed with another woman.

This probably won’t hurt his ability to continue with Fox as a sports anchor.

Me too. One of the few tools I do not find worth touching.
