Golf and fitness...or should that be fatness?

[Stub]

I started playing golf regularly last May at the age of 63, having not touched a golf club for fifteen years before then, and having only played irregularly prior to that. When asked if I wanted to play I always said I was too young for golf!

Since joining a club last August I have played at least twice a week and soon realised, to my horror, that I was somewhat knackered after 18 holes of golf...so then resorted to swimming twice a week to get fit for golf!

Now, seven months after taking up regular golf I am 18lbs lighter ( and many £££ lighter!).

Now if only I could work the same effect on my handicap!!!

I have to say that that is part of the reason I've joined a club as well, try to shift some of the insulation before I hit 40!!!
