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.

      39/39/78 for an 8.7 differential. Ball striking was good. Putting and chipping was off just enough to prevent a very good score.

      Worst thing on Sunday was that NBC and Peacock wouldn't let me FF through the commercials on my DVR recording. Very boring when a guy has a huge lead on the final round and everyone else is playing for 2nd place. At least it was USA 1-2-3 in the end.

      Sheep Ranch (Bandon, Oregon)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      First day of a trip to Bandon Dunes. We played Sheep Ranch today. A Coore/Crenshaw designed course. A par 34 on the front and 38 on the back. With 8 holes with either a green, tee box, or the hole runs along the edge of the bluffs at the pacific. It has amazing vistas. With wide fairways and intermixed gorse bushes. The defense of the course are its large, undulated greens and the daily winds from the north. Many times you need to take 3-4 clubs more, if you even barely cross the wind, your ball can be taken offline or come up half to a full club short. A fantastic layout.    here are some photos.

      At Sheep’s Ranch, Bandon Dunes. Shot an 84. That wind was nasty going from like hole 7 forward. It was like a 3-4 club wind if in the face. Greens are tricky with the natural grass.

      Yes. The full swing is not that different, and speed is important with all of them. You don't see Tour players hitting their driver 310 and then hitting their 7I 160. Of course, but they're nothing like those for the full swing.
