It felt great to be out on the golf course again! I had been putting and chipping for like a month already, but I hadn't made many full swings or hit many balls since I had surgery back in April. I had two goals for this round. First goal was to shoot a 36(bogey golf) on the front 9 at Columbia Park Golf Triplex and secondly to not react to any of my shots whether good or bad. If you don't golf the second goal might seem weird but after a few years of golfing I've noticed many players develop weird tendency's post golf shot. Some players throw/drop their club, others scream profanities, some do a club twirl, or some people even talk to the ball and ask it to do things while it's in the air! Those are just a few examples and if I could be honest, I've done every single one of those actions a handful of times! There is no doubt that the competitive side of us can really ruin what is supposed to be a nice calm activity.
I've noticed how some of the best players in the world don't let a perfect shot get to their head or a bad shot get to their heart.

Being a right-handed golfer made it easier to return to the game and not be so uncomfortable during the golf swing. I did take some precaution before and during the round. For example, I chose a short course for my first-round back, rented a golf cart, and I wasn't trying to swing very hard during the tee shots.

Thank you guys for watching! I hope you guys enjoyed the video and if you did please hit the thumbs up button! Ill be posting a lot more golf vlogs throughout this year with some of my friends and family so if that sounds like something you'd like to watch hit the subscribe button to not miss any of those video's. Also, if you haven't watched the Golf vlog I filmed at black Rock Creek or even the one at Sun City I'd highly recommend those so you can see how much my swing has improved since then!
I'm hoping I get a chance to visit both of those golf courses again and see if I can beat my previous score!

    Hey man - thanks for this video and nice round considering just coming back! I'm planning on having ACL surgery on my left knee (right-handed golfer). Was your surgery on your right or left knee?
  • @LVHooper
    Hey man, was it your right knee that you injured? I am 9 weeks post surgery and reckon I would be ok to return as a right handed golfer as well.

    Hey man, do you reply to comments? Because I had ACL surgery a month ago and I have many questions about returning to golf. My doc isn't knowledgeable in the sport. Please let me know!
