Neither of you should be insulting in this forum.
I am over 70 with two replaced knees. I generally play 2+ hours of pickleball each day. I have played as much as 5. A decent percentage of pickleball players here have the tell-tale knee replacement scar or scars. I know players who have had at least one hip replaced also playing two hours per day. Most of these players are quite mobile.
You have shorter course options. If you can't walk the ones that you play now, even without having to carry your bag, maybe it is time to start playing shorter courses.
I have not yet restarted playing golf, but it sure sucked when I did play, to be walking and waiting behind even 2 cart four ball matches. Walking straight to your ball is usually faster than riding to someone else's ball, then your ball.
