I had a heart attack 10 days ago. Two stents placed on the same day and two more the next day. When can I start playing golf again

I have no idea but I really sympathise. Our course is beautiful but the club house is on a hill with beautiful views but that means that we need to climb back up to it. That means that I can no longer walk but have to use a buggy. When I was in a bad state I could not play a full round. I think that you really do need to listen to your cardiologist on this one. I have friends who take a couple of wedges and a putter and when their partners get near the green they chip and putt. That is not too much of a strain esp if you ride rather than walk. Most of the time in Spain you ride anyway don’t you?

Good luck

i suggest that you ask a physiotherapist who has experience in cardiac rehab, unless your cardiologist happens to be a golf player!in my experience doctors are not the most reliable authorities on the recovey process unless they have a particular interest in that field

Like your sprit to get going again but take care and take advice.
