I too was concerned about travel after my LRP on Nov 6th 2008. In particular, going back to Illinois for Xmas from California. At my 6 week check-up after surgery, the surgeon said there would be no problem. At that point my incontinence was confined to using one of my wife's "light days" pad and two weeks later at the time of the flight (4-1/2 hours) a little less. I was able to return to the gym two months past surgery doing mostly cardio and light weights. All this to say, I would make your plans and just adjust your golf handicap if necessary (you might be able to win a few bucks from your chums too!).
Ricky: I had surgery and even thought I walked every day thereafter, I can tell you 6 months out your body is still in the healing stage although you may feel fine. Travel certainly would be not problem but I would not play a full game of competitive golf and risk the possible consequences.
