I didn't realise you'd had an accident - does that mean I fell asleep at the back of the class? I hope that all is mending as well as it should.
Golf sounds very attractive reading your first paragraph.
Posted by Anji at September 19, 2010 04:55 AMWe are retired and enjoy playing golf, traveling and meeting up with friends. I always bring along my electric golf caddy, it lets me play this great game and get some exercise at the same time. My remote electric golf caddy is like my 15th club.
Posted by Golfalot at September 19, 2010 11:01 AMMy dad (in his 80th year) has recently begun riding the course instead of walking. This is mostly due to dizziness he experiences due to some blood pressure stuff he has going on in the past few years (and I think because his first heart attack 20 years ago was on a golf course and the newer dizziness has brought that back to mind). He was riding along about 5 weeks ago when the driver ("always drives too fast") hit a rather large bump on the fairway and sent my dad into the air. When he came back down on the seat, he was pretty certain he might have cracked something in his hip.
Mom "made" him go get checked out. As it turned out, it was internal bruising which would heal and stop hurting in about four weeks. He continued his weekly golfing throughout. But he informed his buddy that he drives the cart too fast, just like he drives his car. I'm not sure they're golfing together anymore as a result.
So walking/riding... it's all a hazard. Keep your vespa off the course, dude. ;-)
