Not sure why no one has brought this up about Bernie.

30. I took up golf at age 58

Because I was having fainting spells every morning at work. And my heart would race. And when I ate any type of meat in a restaurant, I got chest pains. So I quit my really good job at a national research lab and quit working at age 57.
Moved to a cheap area to live with no income until age 62 with social security.

Anyway joined a cheap golf club in WA state and began playing 5 days a week , 9 holes for a few months until I got stronger and do 18 holes once in a while. After 4 months I was walking 18 holes 5 times a week. Best part was 4.5 hours of walking on green grass, with trees and water ponds and sunshine, in the company of 3 cheerful golfers, without getting bored for a minute.

To make a long story short, now I am 79, my chest pains and fainting spells are a distant memory, even my hip joint pain is gone. golf literally saved my life. There is no other form of exercise I could have done for 4.5 hours 5 times a week without going insane and bored out of my mind.

I am looking forward to breaking my age .. before the body gives out. Very rarely achieved!
