Re: [Paddlewise] Flexibility: was Day Hatch

To all "Middle Aged" Paddlewisers:
Though I don't play golf near as often as I'd like, I've found, at age 54, 
that the odd hour at a driving range does wonders for maintaining 
flexibility. One club pro even mentioned a while back that if there is a 
major problem with my golf swing, it is that I over-rotate my body. Fact is 
that swinging a golf club helps with flexibility and also with alleviating 
frustration by wacking the devil out of those little white pills. ;-)
