Answer 2

You will have some discomfort while playing and afterwards.  My brother has scoliosis, but it doesn't always affect his play.  He's younger than you though.

Answer 3

While a member at my first club the 17th and 18th fairways ran parallel in front of the club house. Two club members were walking # 17, one with scoliosis the other a left arm amputee who were teamed in the spring Member- Member tournament. They were C players and creamed their flight . You should consult a doctor but my guys went about their business with little or no pain showing. If they were on medication, they still enjoyed their golf. If you love the game get some advice. I'm 85 and in excellent health and would miss the game terribly if told to cease.

Answer 4

If you are otherwise healthy, it probably won't effect you that much, except that you will have to adjust your swing and keep your expectations real. I just love being on the course. The worst score I ever posted was still a good day so enjoy. peace
