Prefer the word, experienced. After years of playing years of sports, working on a farm, working around chemicals, living in the south, and not really taking good care of myself, it has finally caught up. Wish I had the energy and ability to walk and play this wonderful game we call golf. At the wonderful age of 78 just love being out and playing. My neurosurgeon, urologist and pulmonologist all say hop on that cart and enjoy the game. Have been going thru physical therapy for my lower back but the pain limits that. Just trying to enjoy the game regardless of the score. Something tough to accept, having been a walker and very active all my life. Golf seems to be it for me right now.

I consider myself in decent shape for being 63 (64 in August). I did a TPI assessment back in March and have been trying to get more consistent in my use of the exercise program that they came up with. Also trying to include some pushups and resistance band stuff. It helps that my job still has requires some physical exertion even though I am in management now. Age still tries to slow me down though. It seems that more things hurt after I work out as time goes by. Tylenol is your friend as you get older.

Will be 66 and retiring in August! Daily walks and stretching, back roller. 2-3 times/wk body weight exercises. Maintain a good diet!

Younz? Are you originally from Western PA?

In our golden years, we need to guard against sedentary life styles. So, yes, at 75 my pooch helps me walk 2-3 miles daily. I also throw in exercises developed through a TPI evaluation. It is weighted more to focused stretching with some weight bearing exercises. While the goal is to keep as much of my swing as possible, they all help me to continue in other day to day activities. I’ve held off knee, hip, and lower back pain. Not to mention resolve issues with a damaged shoulder from falling on ice this winter. Not that you have to worry about that in Hawaii.
