So my Dad finally bit there bullet and had his shoulder replaced (long overdue). The surgery was this afternoon. He’s in the hospital overnight then back home tomorrow as the recovery begins. He’s 60 years young and likes nothing more than walking 9 after the workday.
He has been in tremendous pain for a few years and had limited range of motion in his shoulder. Despite this, he typically played 3-4 times a week and would play more if he could! The injury definitely impacted his performance on the course (handicap went from high teens to high 20’s), but more importantly it impacted his enjoyment in the game.
He will likely regain full range of motion in the joint, and it’s looking like 3-6 months before he starts swinging a club again. Has anyone else gone through this?
