Started perusing the site and saw many golfers. Of those of you who golf, if you have a second to respond, can you tell me how many holes you play a week and how many times you go to the driving range?

Thanks.

When I first developed Dupuytren's, I was playing 36 holes per week. The interesting thing was the number of other golfers in our club who had Dupuytren's. When I was about to have surgery, there were 19 people in a meeting at the club and out of those 19, six had Dupuytren's.

Good question Rachael. Also, I notice that a large number of of people on this site are musicians. It would be interesting to survey these also. Instruments such as keyboards really stretch the hands for many hours per day.

In any case, DD also affects untalented people such as myself who is neither a musician, a tennis player, or a golfer!

Re: how many of you are golfers?

I played tennis at least once a week from 1980-2008. When I developed DD I did not play for about a year. After RT I now play tennis about 1-2 times a month. I golfed 2 times a month for a few years (1995- 2000), then it dropped to once a month and since DD it is maybe 4 times a year. I played the piano, then the guitar, then I took up the saxaphone and played regularly until maybe 2000. I don't play sax much anymore due to work demands. In fact due to work I don't get to play tennis or golf the way I would like to. I need to retire.
