Greg Norman outlined the severe COVID-19 symptoms that “knocked him out of the shit” when he returned to a hospital after initially thinking he had overcome the worst virus.
The Aussie golf legend, who lives in America, revealed a few days ago that his Christmas was ruined when he contracted coronavirus, just as his son, Greg Norman Jr., who started out as ‘mild symptoms’, increased rapidly and Norman endured pain like never before.

Norman told his 191,000 Instagram fans on Sunday that he was back at home in quarantine after a first visit to the emergency, while still experiencing symptoms, but at a lower level.
However, Norman’s second test required two consecutive negative tests to ensure he was on his way to recovery and could stay home, and he is back in the hospital.
The 65-year-old thanked the doctors and staff at the facility where he was being treated in Palm Beach and said: ‘Get an infusion of Bamlanivimab antibody. The road to full recovery. I hope to be out later today. ‘
Norman is in great physical shape and in the past regularly posted photos on social media with his shirt off explaining his dedicated workout.
Although someone in good health, COVID-19 hit the golfer in a way he had never experienced before.
“I’m fit and strong and have a high tolerance for pain, but this virus kicked me out of the shit like nothing I’ve ever experienced,” Norman wrote on Instagram.
“Muscle and joint pain on another level. Headache that feels like a chisel going through your head and every time you scrape off small pieces, fever, muscles that just do not want to work like yesterday with my dog Apollo walking, my quads and hip flexors want to work due to fatigue.
“Then my taste failed where beer tastes bad and wine the same. And in the end I sometimes struggle with the memory of names and things. Then there is irritation.”
Norman urged everyone to take the “horrific” virus seriously so that they could avoid the battle he faced.
“Please be careful. And if your doubters are out there, do not judge or comment or comment. I do not want anyone, even you, to experience this horrible virus,” he said.
“So I ask, do what is right, not only for you, but also for your family, friends, co-workers and other people. I am happier than most and for that I am grateful and blessed. The world is also blessed and scientific acted and performed like never before to get a vaccine / s that everyone can finally receive. Thank you very much to the people. We must bring our world back into healthy harmony so that we can become economical and prosperous with millions and millions of people. which they live back.

“God bless those who are infected and who may fall unconsciously through this virus. My prayers and thoughts go out to you all. Today once from here back to quarantine.”
A week ago, Norman teamed up with Norman Jr. played in the PNC Championship in Florida. The pair finished ninth in the father-and-son tournament, two places behind the team that beat Tiger Woods and his 11-year-old son Charlie on the head.
Norman Jr. revealed that he and his partner, Michelle, also contracted COVID-19 and said his better half was “beaten hard” with “four days of fever, body aches, migraines.”
Norman placed himself in quarantine after returning from the PNC Championship in Florida, as well as after the event as part of the PGA Protocols negative for coronavirus.
Four days into his isolation, however, the two-time winner began to develop symptoms and, on the advice of his doctor himself, was quarantined, before things got bad enough that Norman could go to the hospital for the first time.
