I've been dating a girl who has shown a bit of interest in disc golf, and she lives really close to a course where I like to play a lot. The problem is she's recently had back surgery, and has been forbidden by her surgeon from ever bending her back again. She's still in her twenties, but the interdiction against back movement has thrown a monkey-wrench into my plans to introduce her to the game. However, she's heard from a back rehab doctor that disc golfers who've been through back surgery can learn to play with a forehand.
Problem is I'm a backhand-dominant player. Are there any good videos or instructional lessons out there for teaching the fragile of back to learn to play? I'm thinking I'll start her out by just going for walks in the park, and maybe she can watch me play a few holes while we walk to judge whether she's still interested. Then if she is, I'd start her with putting. From there we could maybe work up to a forehand approach type shot, but I'm wondering how much she could really learn to do with a fragile back, and even a forehand approach shot would be too much for her at this point in her recovery. Anybody out there know how to seek out advice for this situation?
