Hello from Salem, Oregon

[Salem Golfer]

Hello everyone, I just got back into golf last summer... Golfed for around 11 months back in 2007-2008 when I lived in SoCal.

Ive got a bad back, bad legs and arthritis and or tendinitis in every joint but I have to keep moving or I will end up laying back down and not getting up again. 10 years of mostly laying in bed has made me weak and over weight but Im hoping to change that over time. I havent played since it got cold here but I try to get to the range and hit balls to stay limber.

Hello! Beautiful area up there in the North Pole! My brother lives in Vancouver and works in Portland. Glad to hear your giving you’re best and hope you can continue to enjoy golf as best you can. Take it slow and easy. Small steps. Welcome to TST!

Thanks Vinsk... I wish I did anything slow and with small steps, LOL

I figure I will hurt no matter what so I go to the range and pound balls for about an hour, go home and take Advil and Tylenol and lay down for a few hours 

I just want it to get warm and dry so I can get back out on the golf course to play

Welcome to TST. Great golf is spoken here. 

I am familiar with your part of Oregon. Nice country up there.  I grew up in Seaside. 

I have a relative who lives in the Salem area. He takes me to the "Creekside" (?) golf course when ever I am in the area. Pretty nice course.  Most courses in Oregon are pretty nice. 

Yeah, when we all get older, it's best we keep moving as much as we can. The golf game is a good way to stay mobile. Just don't do too much too quick. I might suggest to get out and walk as much as you can. Walking does wonders for one's physical abilities.
