Well, my 91 year old mother-in-law plays golf with our ladies group just about every week. Some adjustment to her swing over the years has been made, but even with her bad back, she plays and plays well. Her doctor encourages her to keep playing....for the exercise, for the fun, for spending time outdoors and for the best part, dining with the ladies after the game. Her swing doesn't impact her back and if her back has a flare up of pain, she takes the week off or she joins us and just putts.
I would hope that as one ages, they take into account any physical limitations that arise and adjust their game accordingly....and play whatever sport they do with the approval of their doctor.
