During recent Physical Therapy I was told the most dangerous time is when the patient feels great but isn't actually fully healed. You don't feel the pain any longer but your body is actually still in recovery - the (insert body part) is still healing and strengthening. The PT told me she sees people re-injure themselves this way all the time, then they have to start over nearly from scratch in their recovery. I was specifically told not to do certain things regardless of how I physically felt until medically cleared.

I don't know about this plan to play. Others have touched on it but 6 weeks means 6 weeks, not 5; ask the doctor to release you to play golf; start with chipping, pitching and putting; get some range time in before hitting the course. I can imagine how anxious you are but think about it the other way - if you do more damage you could end up missing the whole season.
