fixing physical ailments to improve my swing
What is anyone doing about arthritis and its gradual intrusion into all of our swings ? I am almost 66 and hit a driver 240 - 260 on a good day and have an 8 handicap, but could do better if I could fix this debilitating arthritis !

Wish I had the answer Paul. My swing is way shorter than it used to be, and my length with all the clubs is slowly coming down. I've got a list of exercises, pain killers and natural remedies like fish oil capsules. Sadly 2 rounds in a weekend is a struggle, and 2 in a day, e.g. the Club Championship, are beyond me at the ripe old age of 53...
Sooo, I've spent time improving that which doesn't need length and strength. I pitch, chip and putt my way to good scores.

I sympathise Paul. Am coming up to 65 next month and my joints are starting to complain a bit. However would love to be able to say I can hit it as far as yourself. I take regular fish oils and vitamin C. I still have a reasonable all round game but know the value of a good short game so practice it when I can. Good Health !
