Any sleeved golfers?

I am wondering how long after getting sleeved I will be able to play golf. Anyone have experience with that?

Former golfer, here. You can't lift anything heavy such as toting your bag around, so just use a cart. Walking is the best exercise you can do. The biggest issue other than lifting heavy things is to make sure you feel well enough to last through the rigors of the weather and / or bright sunshine. (I am guessing that you are not golfing in Chicago or Buffalo. Hopefully you have a close enough golfing budding to get your bag in and out of the car. Stay hydrated and don't overeat at the 19th hole.

Thanks for your reply. I am in Southern California so we golf year round. Do you think I will be able to golf 4-6 weeks after surgery? I will of course ask my surgeon but I don't see hime until the first week in Jan.

I too was told no golf for six weeks after surgery.

Thank you for the info. I just wasn't sure how long before I could play and we have friends setting up dates to play. I haven't told my friends about my surgery so I guess I will have to get creative with excuses!
