Yeah I'm 65...started with my dad at 5... You are right... I have a surgery in Feb and then have a goal to get in 9 in March... Its hopeful but it keeps me going ...thanks for the help!

Great to hear! Im trying (slowly) to get back out there and this community has been very helpful - FORE

Thanks Bryan! Working on it! But yes, good and bad days/hours

Thanks so much! I want to be out there with the fellas, but I want to get better and be around for the fam...and I'm learning - watching golf, reading about golf, hitting a few rug putts - I can still be a golfer! But I have some bad moments - appreciate the thoughts !

Many thanks Denny! I am trying to avoid the pity party, but sometimes when I'm alone with my thoughts Im overwhelmed... First Tee is a great idea! Thanks for the support!

It could be a huge overreaction - I'm on the mend and now I'm "that guy" who has a bag full of meds...I have rolled a few putts in the house and am watching the Hero and DP on golf channel... Just a fear I guess of never getting out again...thanks for the encouragement... Good and bad days emotionally since I've been home

Well, Im a 60 year player, was really good in high school (when golf was pretty rag tag) then settled in to a decades long 12ish index guy...retired in 2021, now playing 2-3 times a week...I'm a muni guy ...2 weeks ago (after never being sick ever other than the usual flu, bum knee, some arthritis) I suffered a medical emergency and was in the hospital for 9 days in a row...I'm home now with congestive heart failure and Afib...I being well taken care of by my doctors, family and friends ...I've been home since last Sat night. I am afraid that my golf obsession is coming to an end...I want to stay connected to the game that has given me so much value over my entire life since I was 5 years old...
