Yeah. I take carts when I have two days in a row, but still can see the fatigue in my game. -- "In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found, than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." - James Madison

Adds a bit to the entire "walking is integral to the game" position of the USGA. While you don't have to be a top-conditioned athlete, there is some degree of wear and tear to walking 18 holes that impacts you physically and mentally. Really makes you appreciate the good old days when tournaments involved 36 holes in a day. -- JoePete

I find it hard to walk 18 these days (I'm 66) because of lower back and feet problems. But I've got friends that I play with that are still walking 18 or more with no problems at well past 70. And I've noticed this year as the temps keep rising, that playing the high/low scores that I'm seeing seems to be as much fatigue from the high heat and humidity as anything else. Oh well, I guess all things are not golden in our 'golden years'... :) -- Lloyd

But I've got friends that I play with that are still >walking 18 or more with no problems at well past 70. There's no reasoning to it. I've been unable to walk 18 for 6 years now (I'm 74 this month) and one in our group is 81 that just started taking a cart on the back nine...if its over 75 degrees. He also hasn't had three shoulder operations, one knee operation, one hip replacement, or carotid surgery either. Plus he still has all of his hair. There are 40 year olds at my club who are already having to cart it. >And I've noticed this year as the temps keep rising, that playing the >high/low scores that I'm seeing seems to be as much fatigue from the >high heat and humidity as anything else. We'll have our first 100 degree day today, been in the 90s for the past week. That damned sure adds to the fatigue. >Oh well, I guess all things are not golden in our 'golden years'... :) Except having reached them, which also has benefits. I laugh at the fools who make light of us old guys when you know they hope to stay around to play golf as long as we have. Then they'll understand the adage that " age is just a number". ___, \o | / \ . �Someone likes every shot� bk |
