Recently found out from the MRI that it is a frayed labrum with some other things going on at this age of 63. No rounds of golf for awhile, but the short game should get pretty good.
If any of you have had a hip labrum repaired, I would appreciate hearing of your experience.
Thanks,

If you think the injury was golf related maybe during your layoff you could gently work on an improved motion. Homer is on record as thinking that the quickest results are attained without the ball being present. Lynn's first teaching classes were in a ball room during the winter months with students emerging in the spring to see shockingly improved striking ability.
Like tai chi for golfers. You may have to give up golf but you dont have to give up G.O.L.F. You could work your way through 12-3 THE MECHANICAL CHECKLIST FOR ALL STROKES in slow motion, sort of like the Hogan slow motion video. You can do the motion training of the McDonald exercises and later the Melhourne drills when you're able to hit some Acquired shots. You might come back better than ever, better for not having the ball in front of you.

I have put everything in place to have a great golf season, except my back is not cooperating. Dr. says I need to take off 3 weeks for physical therapy after straining my lower left back. X-rays show some degeneration in the discs, but nothing terribly unusual for my 52 year old frame.
I like O.B. Left's suggestions, but does anyone else have some idea about how to best use this 3 week hiatus to come back better than ever??

The warranties are now good for 15 years, Gerry, and you are in good shape but can't they do a "minimally invasive" thingy?
As for a non-Pivot strike of the golf-ball, was it Percy Boomer who shot par with one leg
More later.

Two years later, some shots (medical and adult beverage type) and improved TGM motion, the hip is much less trouble than it used to be.
Less time on the range and more time doing basic motion is also very important.

77 yesterday in a small club tourney and an 8 man team event later today.
Sometimes I carry a Sunday bag. Sometimes I push a trolley. I nearly always remember my flying wedges, flat left wrist and bent right wrist.
Thanks guys.

Get it fixed over the winter is my advice. With MN winters you will have plenty of recoup time and little to no missed golf!
Glad you are playing.
This TGM stuff sure beats that square to square stuff your cousin tried to teach me yrs at NCC!

Hah!!
He hasn't touched that stuff for decades, I don't believe. Indeed, I took some lessons from him 15 or more years ago and he talked of Homer Kelley. I was such a dolt I didn't follow up and go down that road. My first score after a few lessons though, was a 69. Over the years I drifted away.
I am one lucky duck to have run into KevCarter who introduced me to Yoda. My golf life is joyful.
