I had spinal fusion L4-L5 3 years ago now. It was a long painful recovery before I was able to swing again. However, as a reward for going through the successful surgery and rehabilitation, my wife got me a gift certificate to be fitted for a brand new set of AP2's. I was so excited and it helped to motivate me to work that much harder at my physical therapy. There was a light at the end of the dark tunnel and it was getting back on the course with a shiny new set of Titleists. Hope you're feeling better and are able to get back out there asap! I too cannot wait for the 718's to come out!!!
