So sorry to hear that story. I grew up in East Meadow, grandmother lived in Farmingdale close to Bethpage Park. In the early 70's summer would play 1-17 of the green course, cut over and play 2-17 of the black, then through the woods and finish with 4-18 of the red---48 holes for the then junior weekday rate of $1.75. Now 40+ years later, a herniated disc and rotator cuff injury in the interim, I consider myself lucky to still play. I don't know specific instructors in TV (yet), but most experienced PGA pros will be able to work with physical limitations. My wife has severe fibromyalgia and our pro in NY has been able to help her. I also assume you have tried various traditional and alternative therapies for the underlying pain---pain clinic/chiropractic/acupuncture/herbs/massage/physical therapy---if not, I would give it a try. And before you think that some of these treatment modalities are quackery advocated by nut jobs, I am a board certified internist and professor of medicine at a SUNY medical school, and have seen alternative treatments work---sometimes we have to think outside the box. Good luck and hope to see you on the courses
