I know they probably controlled for age. But I think the correlation of age/retirement, Parkinsons, and living next to a golf course are so closely linked together that even small changes differences in cohorts are going to have extremely different outcomes.

If you live next to a golf course you are probably living in a suburban house in the middle of nowhere and not going anywhere through the day. Your mental stimulation once you age and aren’t able to drive much is probably at a bare minimum. There may be similar correlations between the kind of lives people living near a golf course may have led.
