In the short time I've been a member here, I've come to respect many of the people that post and so I have a question and hope someone has some good advice.

Had an MRI last week knowing something in my right shoulder was not good and hoped for the best. Well the results show a pretty bad tear in my right shoulder (Labrum). I'm a right handed player so the good thing is that its not my impact side. Doc feels if I can live through it, that I should try since I just go back to playing after reconstruction of my knee.

I know, I'm 45 and falling apart!!

Anyway, without having to change my entire swing. Is there any advice someone may have? Has anyone else ever dealt with an injury like this?

I hate to shut down before the season is over.

Thanks in advance.

Get a new Doctor. If the tear is bad like you say it needs to be repaired and or rested so you can golf for a long time. trying to play while hurt is only inviting long term harm to your game.

Wok on finishing with your right elbow more out in front of you, low and off your body. Don't lift up your arm into your face.

Equipment, Setup, Finish, Balance, and Relax. All equal in importance and all dependent on each other. They are the cornerstones of a good golf swing.

Vinny,
I had left shoulder surgery last year for small tears in the labrum. I also had impingement, a bone spur, and a hematoma. Had to shut it down for the season. The right shoulder may be different, but I could'nt swing without severe pain. Surgery was arthroscopic but post-op had to keep arm immobile with a sling then several weeks worth of physical therapy. I still feel a twinge when I full roll the left arm. I'm 47, and it seems like I can hurt something just getting out of bed!

Vinny,

Well Benny, if it helps any, we're almost the same age and I can relate to what you're saying. Man I hate getting old

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.
