Seniors should stay away from pickleball (due to it being played on hard surfaces), but regular volleyball, tennis and badminton are good (even though they are also played on hard surfaces). But rock climbing and hang gliding are good senior sports (I guess there no stress on the joints in either of those activities...)
They should also do three different activities, yoga, walking/jogging, followed by a partial round of executive golf... Why not do yoga one day, take a walk or jog another day, lift weights yet another day, and play an entire round of golf yet another day?
Isn't daily exercise better? What better way to fill your day?
But I guess it's all moot, since the whole region will be under water in 30 years...
I guess that sucks for those younger (55 year olds) people buying in the new, southern areas...

OK since that was so polite, I will add some of my 2 cents (as they say). One correction - volleyball and badminton are most often played on the wooden floor of a basketball court, which gives rebound spring and is easy on the legs. The most advanced tennis players often play on a green clay-like surface called Har True. I did NOT say that rock climbing and hang gliding are ideal SENIOR sports. I used those sports as examples of today's
younger generations wanting NEW sports, just like they want their OWN music, not rock and roll FOREVER. They are NOT as interested in the traditional games. They pioneered activities like rollerblading and sidewalk surfing. Question........isn't executive golf different than par 3. I really don't know.
......I believe that 30 years from today that Miami, Fl will likely be non-existent.
