I was shocked this week when a new client recommended to me by one our members asked did I think he might be wasting his time trying to take golf up as a sport in his late sixties, I have always believed that one of the beauties of the sport is that anyone can play and enjoy it, Douglas Bader, a renowned fighter Ace during World War II, serves as a true example for this. Despite losing both his legs in a tragic flying accident, he took up golf and became quite skilled at it, playing with his specially designed artificial legs. This sport captured his heart and he continued to play it with great passion for the rest of his life.

Remember if you are thinking of taking up Golf it is a sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. While many people may think that they are too old to learn how to play golf, the truth is that it is never too late to pick up a club and start swinging.

One of the great things about golf is that it is a low-impact sport that can be played well into old age. This means that even if you are in your golden years, you can still take up golf and enjoy the physical and mental benefits that come with it.

Furthermore, golf is a social sport that can help you to make new friends and connections, no matter how old you are. Sharing a round of golf and a few laughs with other players is a great way to stay socially active and engaged.
