Im 5 weeks post op from left BHR (right hip 3mos post op) went to the driving range today to hit a few short shots with my lob wedge and lo n behold no pain and I was hitting crisp shots...graduated to my pitching wedge and was hitting it like mid season form high n long (140y) moved to 7iron and was easily hitting it 170y......No pain in either hip and swing felt strong.............I wanna do 9 holes asap.......please someone talk me down lol.
I hit balls at 4 weeks and played 18 at 7 weeks...I won't talk you out of it...go for it...
Im gonna tell my wife David said go for it!!! just felt so good and natural..
Ibbski;
Glad to hear you're moving along, was wondering how you were doing after your marathon hospital stay after your surgery. Hope you continue to get better.

Dr. Gross told me 8 weeks, I waited a little over 8 weeks, I could have played earlier.
When I played my first 18, I won low score, I took greenies off my buddies and I won the longest drive on #18, they have never lived down the fact that a guy who just a short time before was laying in an operating room. ;D ;D
Listen to your body, work up to it
It's a sunny 62 degrees here in Pittsburgh, I got off work early, guess where I am going?
