Hi all,
I have made no secret of the fact that I work for the National Ageing Research Institute and I am very keen to do a project further examining the benefits of golf on ageing – let’s face it golf clubs are a pretty good place to research ageing but will have to try and get some funding to do this.
Currently, I have a colleague who is running a survey in conjunction with the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services at the moment. They are surveying Victorians over the age of 65 examining what is important to older people in Victoria in relation to their health and well being needs at key points in their life.
Please consider doing the survey, it will take around 15-20 minutes to complete and hopefully isn’t to onerous.
If you are interested in participating in this survey please click on the following link to proceed:
https://redcap.nari.edu.au/redcap/surveys/index.php?s=34HCKTRMMAOr visit our project Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/WDOPW
For further information, please contact Dr Jessica Cecil from NARI via email: j.cecil@nari.edu.au or telephone: (03) 8387 2301 or (03) 8387 2621 or feel free to direct message me through the forum.
Thank you for considering participating in this project.
Cheers,
Scott (AKA Birdie Blitz)

To be honest it ticks a lot of boxes in what we preach about Ageing Well. Moderate intensity exercise, muscle strengthening and conditioning, core stability, flexibility, social gathering/outing. It has been shown to be beneficial in all these which leads to reduced risk of falls, minimization of loneliness and social isolation so there are physical, emotional and mental health benefits.
Would like to delve deeper into the world of golf and bowls clubs but just need to find exactly the right opportunity and partners before pursuing funding.
Haven’t seen any studies on the negative impacts on ageing – like missing the foot long putt. Maybe that should be my angle.

Mouldy could be your case study with OB as a comparative.

Quick get back on the course again then.
Thanks for filling it in the survey is closing this Friday we have had 379 respondents and have powered the survey at 384 so if anyone is still keen to fill it in would be greatly appreciated. Even if you haven’t had much contact with the health care system the first section of the survey is based on Ageing well.

OB how did that make you feel? would you like to talk about it?
Do you think this has impinged on your health in any way??
Maybe I should do follow up qualitative interviews with golfers, could get interesting.
If he starts posting about every putt he misses, I reckon it’ll impinge on mine.

As I miss about as many as I make, it would impinge on everything, including my sanity.
