Going back to golf

[Rcnavigated76 24]

Any ideas on the time frame. I know I'm not ready yet. However I did order a new callaway driver and I want to try it. Also, can anyone say if it helped their game. Any help is greatly appreciated.

My doctor said 6 weeks and to take it easy at first. I did wait the 6 weeks. I have not had a chance to go as much as I would like recently so not sure if it has helped my game. I can tell you though when I have gone I have been able to complete 18 without being anywhere near as tired.

On a side note send that Callaway back and pick up some Taylor Made or Adams clubs!!

Thanks for the help. I've never tried Adams, I don't like Taylor made at all tho. I don't like callaway irons tho. Only the xhot 1, if you haven't tried one get to dicks and demo one. Very innovative club. I have went thru the motions SLOWLY. Still a pull inside by my belly button.

Oh, on a side note. I went into dicks simulator and bought the longest straightest driver for ME.

Anytime, I have not had a chance to try the xshot but will. I actually work for Adams so trying it is as about as far as it would go. LOL. Just a shameless plug for the company! Our new XTD's are pretty awesome. We are the best in Hybrids hands down.

Looking for a good mid groove 56-60 wedge. Adams got anything decent there?

I will talk to one of our club experts and send you PM. Out of the office today but will find out. Im an IT guy so don't really get into the tech stuff of clubs. I work to much to get that deep into it.

I'm an avid golfer and a month out from my scheduled date. Since it's been a while, how long was it before you were good to go?

I have a charity scramble that I organize a month after surgery. I was hoping to try to play in it if possible. I thought if nothing else, I might just chip and putt since there are 3 other guys.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Upadate: 3 weeks for me.

I'm now 7 weeks out from my surgery and have played multiple rounds of golf. My surgeon's advice was that I could basically play as soon as my body let me. My first attempt was 2.5 weeks after my surgery. I was scared so went at it very lightly. I only played about 5 holes and didn't swing hard at all. It was ok, but, not normal.

I ended up playing league the following week which was 3 weeks and 2 days after my surgery. I played pretty much my normal game and felt good the entire time, until... I had a shot where I needed to get it up over a tree quickly so I swung fairly hard and I could feel it. I was scared that I screwed up. It felt like a pull in my stomach and I noticed it the rest of the round. I asked my doctor and he said I would be fine as I had my follow-up appointment later that week.

By the time I hit my appointment, I was feeling fine again. My doctor said not to worry about it, that it was likely just a pulled muscle that I hadn't worked for a while. So, I was able to go about my golfing and continue on. So, in a nutshell, it was 3 weeks for me. I will say that I struggled at the end of the year, a lot of because of my weight loss I think and not being used to my new swing. Looking forward to getting it back next season!

I ended up being 5 weeks I believe. Mainly due to weather tho. I've now play probably 75 round or more since than and it amazing. I've lost 206 pounds now. My swing is so different and so enjoyable.
