I used to be on FGI a little, and for the past few years I have played very little golf. But now that I had shoulder surgery I'm looking to get back into the game. I've used to lurk on here, and I always liked the articles, so why not join.

Welcome.  Which shoulder?  I ask because, as a right-hander, I found recovering from a left shoulder injury both difficult and enlightening.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

Lefty golfer, left shoulder. Seems not to affect the downswing, but my backswing is more limited now. Hard to keep right arm straight beyond parallel.

@TheWoat and @PizInterested in hearing from you guys about how long for recovery, when you were able to swing a club in practice, when you first played, what happened to you swings, etc etc. I'm in phys therapy for rotator cuff impingement in both shoulders (along with both hands, which were also injured). Thanks, -Marv

I had an impingement, calcification on rotator cuff. It got removed mid December. It felt great after three weeks, then during PT I tweaked my AC joint. Swinging driver is fine for now, will try partial wedges next week

My forward shoulder seemed to want to ride up and out of it's socket (not entirely true).  I had to do a lot of exercises to restore the normal range of motion.  Fortunately, for me, it wasn't a structural issue; just the result of sub-conscious compensation.  Happily...swinging a club actually helped...after time.

Thanks @TheWoatI'm 72 and any recovery will take awhile I suppose. The Doc is trying to avoid surgery with PT and it's doing pretty good. But it has been 7 weeks, and I'm antsy! He will decide soon I hope what he will recommend. Thanks again, -Marv

      Pitching

      By pganapathy ·

      My rule of thumb for anything inside a 100 yards is my PW.  Of course, my SW and LW come into the picture when I need to loft it more and especially when I have little green to work with.

      2025 TST Outing Preliminary Blabber

      By saevel25 ·

      let me check, I think my volleyball tournament is on 6/21, and we are just driving up and back the same day. I may be masochistic enough to then to play golf on Sunday (6/22). 🤣. 6/21 is 100% out for me.

      Tiger Woods Master Catch-All Discussion

      By Ty_Webb ·

      Thank you for sharing that. He was quite good wasn't he? I was curious, so took a look. He played 19 PGA Tour stroke play events in 2000. He was 263 under par (they did point that out at the end of the video). If you look at each event he played in and take the best score in each event for a player not called Tiger Woods, that combined field score was -259. So he beat the field - where the field resets every week - over the course of an entire season. That's mind blowing.

      How to Handicap a 12 Member, With a Partner, Scramble League?

      By iacas ·

      If they have the same handicap it doesn't matter what you take 35% and 15% of. If you have two low handicaps, averaging them is generally unwise as I said in my first response: a scratch and an 18 would get 9 strokes, which is silly given that one of the players is scratch.

      How to Handicap a 12 Member, With a Partner, Scramble League?

      By edju1749 ·

      Thank you iacas! Interesting take on 35% on Lower Hdcp and 15% on higher Hdcp. Two questions. Why did you choose 35% & 15%? What would I do with tied Hdcp? Right now I'm just adding the two Hdcp. and dividing by 2. We have just 2 golfers with a low Hdcp. The other 10 golfers are very similar. With what I'm doing now, the highest Hdcp. difference, in a match, is 8 once and 7 twice, Again, Thank you very much!
