Golf for exersise

tommytorpedo

I'm an old retired guy in Minnesota. I live in the Northeast suburbs of Minneapolis, or the Northwest Suburbs of Saint Paul. I like to walk nine for my exercise but my old body is starting to give out on me. I may have to start riding soon. Is there anyone in Minnesota here that can recommend a nice golf resort in the area? Maybe up north or over in Wisconsin, Iowa or the Dakota's? Even over by the Great Lakes. (Lake Michigan or Superior}

Can't recommend any golf courses but, from one old guy to another, have you considered that riding a golf cart may only make things worse?

Unless you have significant underlying health problems that contraindicate exercise you may want to see a physiotherapist or such who can help you with an exercise plan to help slow down or stop your body giving out on you.

Back in the day heart attack survivors were often prescribed bed rest, now they're prescribed moderate exercise.

One of the theories of how golf came about was a Scotsman with a heart condition, out on his daily walks, would hit a stone with a stick to pass the time. One time the rock went into a hole, gopher or some other animal's, and he decided to see if he could do it again. As time went by, and men left to their own devices, golf was created.

Or, as Mark Twain would say, golf is the ruination of a good walk.

Or, to explain it's (golf's) popularity in the U.S., it combines two things American's love most, long walks and hitting things with a stick.

On a personal note, I enjoy walking the course. I won't carry, but I like the walk. Makes you feel the course more.

But, getting back to the original question, no I don't, but doesn't the course on which you currently play have carts? But, walk for as long as you can enjoyably do so.
