I am 73, had a spinal fusion 3 years ago due to a plasmacytoma of the L4. 1 ½ years later I developed full blown Multiple Myeloma -- a blood cancer. Underwent chemo for 4 months and then had an autologous Bone Marrow Transplant in March of 2023. I am now in Complete Remission -- but the way back has been tough. Several years ago I tore the Rotator Cuff in both shoulders -- about 8 months apart.
Needless to say my body was a weak wreck for golf. In January I added lifting light weights to my daily stretching routine. I now work out at least 6 days per week -- and the difference is amazing. Being stronger has made all the difference in my ability to control the swing, etc. I've lost 20 lbs and picked up muscle as well.
It is never too late...I went from being on the verge of giving up golf to being stronger and more flexible than I was 5 years ago. Get off the sofa and out of the recliner and start exercising!!
