Great advice and so true. My brother and I cherish every round with our dad. He can’t play anymore, but I’m glad we spent that time together.

I can’t agree with this advice more.

I wish I had done this.
I play with my nephew since his dad passed.

I play with my uncle since my dad passed. I wish my dad could see me using his clubs and having fun with my oldest uncle.
I’ve been part of my old man’s golf league for over 10 years. It’s great. I try to get him out as much as possible. Sometimes he can’t even see the ball if it’s over 100 yards, but he loves it.
As the youngest guy at 62 among guys aged 72 to 90, I now get the friendship of playing golf and the thrill of winning $2. I only knew one person in the group when I joined last summer, but now I have older friends who look out for each other and stay competitive. My dad passed 20 years ago, and this group has helped fill a void I didn’t realize I had.
This is just moving…
Golf is good for the soul and getting you moving.
Good job. You likely added some years to his life.
Dad died at 94. He introduced me to golf as a kid. We played a lot throughout my childhood and 20s and regularly after that. We played 18 when he was 90, and he nearly shot his age. He would ride along with me and hit a few shots until a few months before he passed. I treasure those times. My kids live far away; one is three hours from me, and the other is across the Atlantic. I get a few rounds with the closest each year. Always great times.
I picked up golf in 2020 and wish I could just play one round with my dad. He wasn’t a huge golfer but would hit balls into the woods in our backyard. This hobby could have helped us bond for many years. He struggled with alcoholism for over 30 years but quit when I was in high school. He died from liver cancer eight years ago, and he doesn’t even know I’m now really into golf. Rest in peace, pops; the next birdie is for you.
You’re lucky. What I would give for one more round with my dad.

I agree. My dad was a great player and passed away at 65. I was just starting to give him a run for his money when he passed, and I wish I could have had that last match.
Awesome!
My dad taught me how to golf as a kid. He loved it, and I didn’t care much about it. Fast forward 25 years, I found my passion for the sport, but he isn’t very mobile anymore. Although we aren’t the golfers we could have been, I still play with him every summer. I’m so glad he stuck with it.
Golfing later today with my dad, son, and brother-in-law. There’s nothing better, especially at Thanksgiving.
Great for him. Enjoy every round you get to play with him. My father never made it to retirement.
I’m a dad who used to be in the same boat. Then winter came, and I wish I could play more. Tell your dad to keep going; he’s not alone. Golf has really helped me find peace.
I played with my friend and his son, who is a senior. They had never played with me before. It was my friend and me against him and his son. After playing, I gave him a ride home, and he said his son won a sportsmanship award and was a team captain. He couldn’t be prouder. We tied them, and I’m not even that good. Overall, a good day.
