Welcome @annee55, You are not alone with your experience. Many of us have played that game with PMR and exercise. Sadly I no longer play golf but did love it when I was able to walk more than I can now. Overdoing any kind of exercise or activity always increased my PMR pain symptoms for both times that my PMR was active. Everyone is different when it comes to how much is too much activity and something we have to figure out for ourselves. You might find reading what others have shared helpful in the following discussion:

You mentioned that you started playing golf again. Did the new symptoms start after the first day back playing golf or did you play more than usual on a day?

It was after a few games but I do believe it was exacerbated by carrying bags of groceries flights of stairs. I guess I felt so good … normal… learned my lesson.😩

My favorite sport is surfing. And I have found very simple gentle yoga stretches in the evening before bed, and walking when the sun first comes up in an east direction.... really helpful for more energetic activities like surfing.

Also VERY helpful has been the herb kratom of a specific strain called "Special Green Maylay" obtained from the website Mitragaia.
