Lincolnshire is home to a wealth of top quality golf clubs and courses. Most Lincolnshire courses offer excellent playability throughout all seasons of the year, catering that is of a better quality and significantly less expensive than in most other areas and, for those who want to take a mini-golfing break, there is ample accommodation at affordable prices.

Lincolnshire is already a favourite venue for many golfers from the London area. With many courses less than 2 hours drive on the A1, they are waiting to offer individuals and societies the most friendly of welcomes at even friendlier prices. Linked pages reveal details of those Lincolnshire courses that can offer you what you seek at a price you will be happy to pay . Follow this link for a map showing approximate locations

The courses in the side bar with 'yellow' buttons are those for which the site carries full details. Watch for updates.

So Golfer - You Need a New Knee

 Maybe reading this will help

With each year that passes, the number of Senior golfers increases. Many have taken up golf on retirement, but the great majority will have been sportsmen for as long as they can remember and will have subjected their bodies to untold stresses at Rugby, Tennis, Soccer or any one of a myriad of activities that pressure one joint against another.    I am one of those who took up golf when feet and knees were unable to meet the demands of club tennis, albeit it at the comparatively young age of 34.

On moving to golf, the joints were well able to cope, but as years progressed, right knee pains and referred pain down the shins were telling me that all was not well. A visit to the doctor confirmed Osteoarthritis and a subsequent Arthroscopy brought a comment from the surgeon that a knee replacement would be required within a couple of years.   The clearance of debris during the Arthroscopy gave a temporary relief from pain and, on the recommendation of the several other sufferers, I started to take Glucosamine Chondroitine tablets which, although not a medicine, seem to work.   The Arthoscopy was in 1999 and, whether the Glucosamine was responsible I cannot say, but the knee was kept going until 2007 when the pain again became unbearable.

In contemplating a new knee, I found down to earth information very difficult to come by. There is a wealth of technical information on the internet, but I was more interested in hearing from other patients and particularly other golfers. It is because of this paucity of information that I write this article. For the technical data I found the best information to be the video at: http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Knee-replacement/Pages/Questionstoask.aspx?url=Pages/Questionstoasktab.aspx

In October 2007 I went to see my GP, my introduction to the new NHS system. After the consultation, it was agreed that I should see the consultant.   I asked, as you are entitled to do, to go to the NHS treatment centre at Barlborough (more of this later) but was told that my GP did not agree with this as it was 'not owned by the NHS'. Sticking vigorously to my guns I was told that 'against his principles' he would include Barlborough on the list of options on the NHS computer.   For those not familiar with the new NHS system, you are then given a computer print by the GP that has a number to ring and a password to get you accepted into the system. Don't be deterred. Stick to your choice, you are entitled to do so!!
