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.
This is great advice for all of us duffers, and especially for those recovering from any injury. "Drive for show, putt for dough" is much more than just an expression!
