Today marks my first golf outing post sub-talar ankle fusion, and I am so excited! I could barely get through my last round of golf, 5 days pre-op almost 9 months go. The love of my life have golfed every Christmas and New Year's Eve for the last three years, and I didn't want to break that tradition. I feel strong enough to get through the round, and believe that my ankle will hold up nicely.
We'll be golfing at the world renowned World Woods Golf Club that's just a few short miles down the road from us. They have beautiful grounds and friendly staff. There are three courses to choose from, and even as a beginner there is something there for me.
The weather is beautiful here in Florida today, and that will make my Christmas Eve round of golf that much better!!!
Edit: The round wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible. I survived without any major pain while hitting the ball. I did have some pain/discomfort while walking around and general fatigue, but what do you expect when you have had a 9 month lay-off due to major ankle surgery? I'm happy with the day. And it was beautiful! The sun broke through the fog and turned my skin pink.

The 5th Hole - one of my favorites. Massive downhill with waste area to the right.
Golf Course Squirrel - a.k.a. fox squirrel or monkey squirrel. These guys are so much fun to watch and they are totally fearless of the golf balls flying down the fairway.
