I'm afraid that I haven't been able to play golf for a couple years now. When I last played I discovered that I also managed to find out that I have, what is probably old age related, instability, (AKA, He's done gone feeble on hisself). It's a good thing my family lives down here, otherwise I would only be here for the basically very usual lack of the dreaded "F" word or the painfully cold weather. I couldn't take cold weather anymore. 50 degrees now feels like 32 degrees once did and it forces me to wear long pants, at least in the morning. Bah, Humbug!

Sorry. There's no way you could do it safely if someone went with you?

My "other little brother" is big into golf and just had shoulder surgery, so he can't play. He's really missing it. I suggested that he try mini golf.

He wasn't amused. IDK why; I thought it was brilliant. 😜

Fortunately he's 23, so hopefully he won't pop his shoulder out of the socket and have many more years of golfing ahead of him.

Thanks for your concern, but the problem is balance. I'm fine on level surfaces, however, put me on non-level places like grass (not the greens) and I'm wobbling all over. If I swing a golf club I have a good chance of following the forward motion of my arms and doing a face plant. On top of that the process of trying to keep my balance is exhausting and zaps the fun out of it. The Doctors can't seem to figure out why this is happening and can only say something like..."Well, you're not getting any younger you know!" I still occasionally go to a driving range to see if the problem still exists, but leave disappointed and frustrated. It seems that the only thing, outside of eating, that I still am able to do is going online and giving snarky, probably incoherent, comments.

I agree with your brother! Mini-golf is a fun to some degree but it isn't the same thing or even close to the same challenge.

I get it. My grandmother is older than you but her balance hasn't been good for a long time. If I fly with her, I insist she get wheelchair assistance in the airport because I'm afraid she's going to fall or get knocked over. I had her get an Apple Watch for the fall detection. Between that and the Alexa's in her house, it makes me feel better, though she kept my cats for a while this summer, and my cousin was terrified my cat Ella was going to trip her (not that my grandmother would have let that stop her; I think she likes the cat more than me). I understand physical therapy can help with that, though maybe not get you back to golfing.

I don't do golf, and I'm not very good at mini golf, so I will take your word for it. Other lil bro (we're not actually related, grew up together and are very close; he calls my mom "mom" in addition to his own mother, I've called his parents in emergencies, if we had kids, we'd be aunt/uncle, etc) definitely deserved the needling about it, though. 🙃

I do feel bad for him because he bought a snowboarding pass (I don't understand what the fun of it is, but okay) and he didn't go to Busch Gardens this year with us because he had to pay for that. Whelp, now he can't use it, has to get a medical note so that they'll hold it for him for next year. Right now he's in a sling and can't do anything.

I had surgery on my right ankle in September and still can't walk more than 10-15 steps, so we were walking around a shopping center, him in a sling and me on the knee scooter. He said "anyone asks, we're gonna tell them that they should see the other guy." 😂

I have lists very, very long lists:angelic:

Very long lists are a good thing if they’re for him and not you! 😉

The snow capital of Wisconsin is worse coming up. Tonight, that location will be as low as 17 degrees with occasional snow. Tomorrow that location will be 25 as high and 21 as a low with 1 to 3 inches of snow. Monday there will be 29 as high and 20 as a low with 56 percent chance of morning snow.

If you wondering, the snow capital of Wisconsin is located in Northern Wisconsin. Where I live is at least 310 miles south away from that location.
