Don't let your age stop you from competing!
Aging doesn’t have to be your excuse
Here’s a great story about Dawn Kirklen who began playing golf at the age of 50. Now, at 89, she still plays twice a week. (NOTE: When I first published this blog article, this story about Dawn Kirklen was freely available…not anymore. The website that posted it is now a “Pay-Per-View” or subscription website).
Shoulder surgery doesn’t stop this golfer
Dawn has had four surgeries since 2000:
- two hip replacements
- back surgery
- shoulder surgery
Also, she is scheducled to have cataract surgery in January and hopes to play in a tournament in March.
What’s your excuse?
Daily exercise is one of the keys for living a long, fulfilled and productive life. We all know it, but seldom do anything about it.
As the new year starts, why not make it a priority to enjoy your senior years by following an exercise program. As Dawn Kirklen has proved, its never too late to start.
