I played my first complete round of golf in two years. I have arthritic hips so even in a cart I could play only play maybe up to twelve holes before the pain would become unbearable. On November 15 2016 I had total hip replacement on my right hip. Mid February I started chipping and putting. March 29 the day before my 57th birthday my brother flew in from Kansas City to play my first round after my THR . It was wonderful experience being back on the links . When I was on the first tee I hummed the theme song of "Welcome Back Kotter ". I want to thank Shoreline Golf Links in Mountain View California and Titleist Golf equipment . That's me in the blue top
