Hi all,
Havent posted for quite a while, but feel compelled to now, and see what everyone else's experience of playing as we get older is.......
Here I am, 57yrs old, and 'reasonably fit'.......ie I can go out on my Road bike and cycle 30miles easily, with little or no after effects. However, play a round of Golf and quite frankly, I feel beaten up !
I'm currently awaiting a date for a Knee Replacement, or Partial Knee etc, but despite that, have played regularly for many years, and I'm still playing off 9h/c. Last summer, both my knees were giving me some grief,
which coupled with the wet course and course closures, means I havent played as much this winter.
But in all honesty, as well as problematic knee/s, my overall suppleness and ability to swing is just feeling severely hampered and labouired these days, as if physically, I've just hit a wall in many respects. Has anyone else felt the same at some point in their advancing years ??!
My hips/lower back feel tight, my shoulders less supple, and throw in two fubbbared knees, and its a sorry state. Ive recently started taking a supplement called Joint Fuel 360, which another golfer recommended to me, and after 1mth in, I keep thinking I am feeling improvements,
but I'm not convinced, jury's out, but I'll persevere.
My playing partners, some same age, some older, dont seem to suffer the same,.......and some are less 'fit' in some respects, and drink far bloody more than I !!
So guys, tell me your expoeriences as you've got older, please tell me I am not alone !?
