Golf

Anybody know when we might have clearance to golf again? I'm three weeks post op and couldn't imagine now.

I am 3 months out and planning to play over the summer....I hope there are no restrictions that far out? Would love to hear from some golfers. Three weeks out is way too soon, I can tell you that. I feel like I can play now, but it's the middle of winter and I have not been to the driving range....

I'm 3 weeks out and feel like I could play now I feel so great, but I don't think it would be wise - I was told I wouldn't have any activity limitations after 6 weeks.

I should never try now it seems like the worst motion. But I can't wait to get back out there. I'm hoping maybe by eight weeks. Up until yesterday I had no pain and never would have even realized I had surgery. I really have been blessed with an easy path. Now to break this stall and get this going in the right direction.

Six weeks for me, same as yoga, but last year it was so wet here I skiied instead.

I was not cleared to do anything except walk for the first 6 weeks. After that I started riding a bike and working out at the gym. I slowly increased my workouts as I felt comfortable. As for golf, I felt I could play again after about 2 months but I did not, I wanted to make sure I was 100% healed before I started that kind of torque on my body. My first round was about 4 months after surgery and all was fine except my swing. I thought I would really play better since I lost all this weight, wrong. My swing plane changed and I could barely hit a golf ball. I am almost 9 months out from surgery and my golf game is still far from good. So much for picking up where you left off from surgery. I just did not realize just how wide my swing around my body really was and I had adapted to it for all of those years. Now I can actually have a correct swing, I just have to learn to repeat it over and over again. Good luck once you finally get back to it.
