newgirl07 0 Posted August 21, 2007 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mary-2b150 0 Posted August 25, 2007 That's a good question, I am curious about the answer as well. Let us know if you find out anything! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
METALBAND 0 Posted August 25, 2007 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WASaBubbleButt 41 Posted August 25, 2007 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
