Walked 9 holes without playing

[chrisd]

I managed to walk 9 holes with my mates this morning, although I used the walking stick, they were playing in the new Captains "drive in" - no bad after effects and I have arranged a 4 BBB game for next Sunday - please keep fingers crossed!

Hope it goes well for you next week. I wouldn't be able to make 3 holes without having a go for fun.

Thanks Ron, I would have hit too had they not been in a comp and were with 2 guys who I didnt know!

I walked 18 holes today and wish I didn't play

Glad to see that the progress is swift.

I know that feeling Chris. I broke my shoulder 3 1/2 months ago. I have been going for walks round the course with my mates just to get out for some fresh air. But oh my god it is so frustrating not being able to hit a ball. I hit my first shot on Friday since middle of September, it felt so good to hit a ball. Problem is it will stil be MArch until I can play a full round.

A bad round is always better than no round Richard, thanks for comments re progress, it's been a little over 4 weeks so far!

Great news Chris... nice to read a good news story. Hope next week goes really well. I've not played for 7 weeks, and been told no golf for at least another 3 weeks... but I have a cunning plan.

 

[Oddsocks]

Even if you get 9 in chris the speed you have recovered its awesome , good luck fella

 

[USER1999]

Impressive recovery. Don't push it though.

I have a mate who is going under the knife on Thursday for similar. I hope he recovers as quickly. I also hope they do the correct hip.

 

[Imurg]

Take it steady Chris but it's good news that you're able to get around the course.

Good Luck.

Good news Chris - keep us posted on further progress.

My brother is 3 week post-op from his hip replacement, and is walking at least 30 mins per day - but with a stick at the moment.

 

[AMcC]

Glad to hear your doing well mate, keep up the good recovery.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Good news but are you sure you're ready for a full 18 so soon? Wouldn't 9 be better as a starter?

 

[chrisd]

Thanks guys for your kind comments. Wish good luck to pals etc due to be operated on. I hope to try 9 holes on Wednesday and, no, I won't be doing anything that I feel at the time to be too risky and by Sunday I will be just over 5 weeks post op.

Hope the nine holes goes well on Wednesday and you are in good shape for the weekend. Recuperation is a tough balancing act between rest and physical therapy. You know you're body better than we do so here's to a continued recovery

 

[AmandaJR]

That's great news Chris and good to see such progress. Remember the "S" word though - SENSIBLE :thup:

I chatted to a pal yesterday who is 4 weeks post surgery (breast cancer) and still has 3 weeks of radiotherapy to endure but we are planning her return to the course already. Plan is she'll walk 9 holes with me and just play in from 4 yards to sharpen the short game and gradually increase that as she feels able.

Hope your 9 holes on Wednesday goes without a hitch.

Great news Chris glad to hear you nearly there , you notice i said "nearly" tho, take it easy mate , better to wait another while & be right for the rest of the year than to rush back a bit early & do some harm /.. good health & good golf mate

 

[Aztecs27]

I can only echo what's already been said.

Nice work with the recovery thus far.

 

[One Planer]

Some people just can't stay away from the game!!

Excellent news Chris. Great to hear you're out and about walking the course.

Hope your recovery continues at this pace :thup:
