The ‘brutal truth’ of how Joe Buck shattered his wife’s ankle — headstand on the golf tee

Gymnastics and golf do not go together.
Joe Buck’s wife, Michelle Beisner-Buck, just wants to get back to doing headstands after her husband drilled her in the ankle with a golf ball , which required surgery after complications with her nerve damage.
Buck revealed the “brutal truth” of what happened on July 7 while on a golf course in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, when his wife was doing a headstand just outside the tee box as she began doing her splits with her feet in the air.
With her body in a capitalized T shape, her ankle was directly in the line of fire when he says his Taylor Made golf ball drilled her ankle.
“She did a headstand at the end of the tee box for good luck and at the exact moment that I was teeing off, she decided with her feet in the air to do the splits, thereby dropping her right leg a little to the side, right in my line of fire,” Buck detailed in a playful video from his car with his wife sitting shotgun.
Buck is the play-by-play voice for “Monday Night Football,” while Buck-Beisner is a reporter for ESPN and the weekly telecast.
Buck-Beisner was previously a Broncos cheerleader, which helps explain her affinity for headstands.
“We did six weeks in a hard cast, and now we’ve done two and a half weeks in this [boot],” Michelle continued. “The cherry on top, not only did I get –– it’s not his fault, it was a freak accident –– but not only was it a shatter and an impact break, but there’s a nerve that runs right under your ankle bone through your foot called the tibial nerve that was severely damaged.”
Prior to this, Michelle adds that her doctors were recommending non-surgical things like fusions and nerve blocks, none of which appear to have worked.
