My boyfriend and I are talking about taking golf lessons together. I just got my band on 8/6 and I've never played before. My Dr said no strenuous activity for 3 wks (like working out) and no abdominal strain (i.e. crunches) for 3 months.

To the golfer bandsters, how long do you think I should wait until we start lessons? Does golf hurt your abdomen? I imagine the twisting part could be dangerous if you're not totally healed.

Any thoughts/suggestions? Also, any advice for a newbie golfer?

Thanks,

Nancy

My advice is do not start!!! Just kidding...I golfed about 6 weeks after but it wasn't that I was waiting, it was just when I had the opportunity and it was fine. Just practice before maybe at the driving range first to see if there is any discomfort. Good Luck!

I wouldn't only because I think it is going to make your port kick in and throw a fit screaming at you to STOP DOING THAT. ;)

No lifting weights, nothing over 8-10lbs or so, no abdominal crunches, and if it hurts, quit doing that.
