Wednesday I attended an all day seminar overlooking the 1st tee on the course where Jack Nicklaus won the US Senior Open in 1993. Some people enjoy playing "hit and hunt", some of us enjoy hiking.

The barriers that you list can be overcome, but some people will still prefer other actvities.

I did a 5 night hike early in May and had my own problems with #4 or should I say #2. My right knee became swollen on the second day and going to the bathroom was "problematic" for the balance of the trip.

The deal I have with my wife is I do not have to watch Dancing with the Stars with her and she does not have to hike with me. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
