Guest guest Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 I, too, would love to hear how soon you can start swinging the club as golf is my passion also (although only a one hcp and not professional) and am to have resurfacing on March 8th in Vancouver ,WA with Dr Ed Sparling.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 I had a lhr in October of 2003, so by the time I was steady on my feet the winter had set in here, but I have hit a few balls at an all season driving range and I can tell you that things are mighty different. I am going to have to learn to swing from scratch. I had become increasingly right sided in order to avoid putting weight on the left hip. For a right sided golfer, this means short swings and no weight transfer which equals weak slices. Now I can easily put my full weight on my left side. Also, my ability to turn my trunk had deteriorated significantly in terms of range of motion and steadiness as the hip worsened over time. This has improved a great deal. Now I feel like I have a fighting chance to be more consistent, and to enjoy golf more, thanks to the miracle of hip resurfacing. Ian P.S. I happened to catch a little of a senior tournament broadcast from Hawaii las night and I watched Jack Nicklaus closely because of his recent ceramic THR. Looks to me like he's got a slight limp. Leg length differential? I have no firm evidence, just speculation, but he played quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
