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.
Also keep in mind not all rotator cuff injuries are the same. There are actually four muscles that make up the rotator cuff and depending on which one(s) is/are damaged will determine the length of recovery time.
