Going in next week for  a right hip joint replacement.  It's bone on bone and has been giving me a lot of pain all winter.  I have surgery April 6th.  Doctor says he thinks I can play golf in a month.  Has anyone had hip joint replacement? I'm hoping he is right.. First week of May my league starts.  A month sounds a little early.  I'm 69 and in good shape.  Exercised daily at the Y until 2 months ago.  Pain was to much at that time.

I had a full hip replacement in Feb 2019.

my doctor wanted 90 days.  Putting or short chips were OK after 4-6 weeks but no full swings.  
 

i understand the pain, in Oct. 2018 I could not swing well enough to clear a small pond on a par-3 with my driver and getting out of a car was hard.

@Larrh7, I’d agree with @StuM; certainly poss at one month, but smarter to wait til 3 months before full, uninhibited swings. If it’s a posterior approach, the capsule is at risk for allowing the hip to dislocate for quite some time;  I’ve seen hips dislocate a year out from surgery…but the fact it’s your right hip is far better than your left (assuming you play right-handed). If it’s an anterior approach, less worries. Either way, hopefully, your hip is for the rest of your life, let it heal…a few months off from golf will make you all the more hungry :-) 

I’d have you work on chipping & putting for 6-8 weeks before getting too eager. Just my two cents…

Thanks for the reply. I'll see how I feel and follow doctors advice.  If I do get out in 5 or 6 weeks I'll just take it easy.  Should be able to start Chipping and putting in 3-4 weeks I've been told by guys I know that have had it.

So how's it going? I've been dormant on this forum for a while, but I'm a few days out from right THR and wondering about your experience so far.

      Day 237 (26 Dec 24) - played 18 with niece and her husband at one of the local courses.  We were first out - so we pretty had our own pace of play.  First few holes were a struggle, but the groove started by hole 5.  The green side wedge game kicked in - had several kick in up and down pars.  Best of the day - had my first ever sandie birdie on #9. It’s a neat par three with a pot hole bunker - found it off the tee.  Had about a 22yd shot from the bunker to the flag.  Hit an easy shot out with the 54 that hit softly and gently rolled center cup.  Had several other close wedge shots into others that were close but no hole out.  Was a great day with the green side wedge game - and seeing solid fruit from the drills.

      Day 16: 12/26/2025 A little more mirror work today. Then out to the garage net.  The first part of my PPJ swing thought is really starting to stick. The J still takes some focus. Plus, I'm still putting a priority on getting all the way to my finish.
