A neighbor who had shoulder replacement said it was a year before he could play. Damn. Wish I had asked for a Priority Golf fee refund.

I have a friend that had rotator cuff surgery 10+ years ago and it took him about 10-11 months...to start making (tentative) full swings.
I don't know if advances have been made in the surgery to shorten that time-frame up, but he was still pretty careful...even after over a year.
He's a real golf nut, so was putting as soon as he was out of a sling...and started short chipping soon after.
His short game was truly amazing afterward, so maybe looking forward to that...will ease the frustration of not playing for you.
Good luck in your rehab.
