I grew up in Burlington County. Where have you played? I've played a bunch of courses in the area as well, but it's been a while since I lived in NJ. Riverwinds in West Deptford is a fun and challenging course http://www.riverwinds.org/ . Also check out Pine Hills. It's a fairly new course and very nice, http://www.golfpinehill.com . There are some decent munis and public courses in philly too, there's a course in West Philly that I played once, but I can't remember the name.

A Philly boy made good and owns two gorgeous courses in North East MD. They are easily accessible from S. Jersey or Philly, less than an hour south. He is a golfer's golfer and the course is set up for player comfort and enjoyment, with ample signage, phenomenal conditions, and a great staff.

Mr. Barbin, the owner, also is a leading supporter (and might have founded) that area's Victory Golf Pass, which offers access to a ton of courses at discount, with money from Pass sales supporting a charitable cause, which I don't remember all that well.

Check it out at http://www.chesapeakegolf.com .

Or Whitemarsh. Or Philadelphia Cricket...

Merion's so pedestrian. Only the common folk play it.

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
