This study focusses on (1) their motivations to consistently and actively engage in golf, (2) what playing golf means to them and (3) the benefits they derive from playing golf. This qualitative research adopted the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach. In-depth interviews were conducted with 5 men between the ages of 60 and 73 years of age who met the inclusion criteria. Interviews were conducted in the premises of the clubhouse where the participants felt comfortable and lasted between 40 — 60 minutes!' The interviews were audio taped and transcribed verbatim for data analysis. The emerging themes for motivations to regularly play golf were (1) the exercise, (2) the friends and (3) the enjoyment and fun. Similarly, three themes emerged on the meanings for participation being (1) a routine, (2) look forward to playing and (3) good friends.
