Quiet on the golf board (as always) so thought I'd start a topic.
I had my right (back) hip done a year+ ago and thought at the time that the back hip must be worse for golf, since I had such pain after I would golf, and some difficulty golfing. Some others here had posted the opposite. I didn't question them in print, but I thought otherwise.
Mea culpa! My other hip is deteriorating much quicker than I had thought possible (yes, just like everybody else's!) and I have discovered (at least in my case) that while the rear hip made golfing difficult and painful, the front hip just makes it impossible. I have gone twice this year and will not go again, until either some type of surgery or a physical therapy miracle.
The last time I went my hip just refused to turn after four or five holes. To finish the round I had to start swaying with the longer clubs (instead of rotating the hips). When I timed it perfectly I clocked a few balls (it was a hot, humid day and the ball was just flying), but my misses were atrocious, and on a course with a lot of lateral water... And of course the hip/leg hurt for two weeks afterwards.
Anyone, just wanted to throw my observations out there for comment or future reference.
