“Some Guys Carry Lucky Balls. I Carry This” – Hamilton Retiree Back on the Fairways

Sponsored by Koru Nutrition

Perry thought his golfing days were behind him. Now the 68-year-old is sharing what brought him back to the fairways.

The 18th hole at his Hamilton golf club used to be Perry’s favourite. The gentle dogleg left, the satisfaction of a well-placed approach shot onto the green.

But for nearly two years, that hole – and the seventeen before it – remained just memories.

“I’d been golfing since I was twelve,” Perry explains. “Suddenly at 66, my knees were telling me it was time to hang up the clubs.”

It started gradually. First, he switched from walking to using a cart. Then nine holes instead of eighteen. Eventually, even getting in and out of the cart became a challenge.

“The worst part wasn’t giving up golf,” he admits. “It was losing touch with my mates. We’d played together every Thursday for fifteen years.”

Perry tried the obvious routes first. Physio sessions, gels from the chemist shelf, plenty of rest. Nothing seemed to stick for long.

Then last month, his neighbour mentioned something interesting over the fence.

“He saw me struggling with the garden and asked if I’d heard about this Koru FX cream,” Perry recalls. “Said his wife swears by it for her hands. I figured I had nothing to lose.”

Perry was sceptical – he’d tried plenty of creams before. But something about it being made locally in New Zealand appealed to him.

“I liked that it was natural, no nasties in it. Started using it on both knees, morning and night.”

The first few days, he noticed the pleasant cooling sensation and how quickly it absorbed. By the end of the first week, something felt different.

“I was getting out of my chair without thinking about it,” he says. “That’s when I knew something was working.”

Three weeks later, Perry sent a text to his golfing group: “Anyone free for nine holes Thursday?”

“They couldn’t believe it when I showed up,” he laughs. “Thought I was just coming to watch.”

That first round back, Perry shot 44 for nine holes – not his best, but not bad for someone who hadn’t swung a club in months.

“The lads were asking what my secret was. I told them about Koru FX. Now half of them are using it too.”

Perry’s now back to playing eighteen holes every Thursday. He still uses a cart – “I’m not twenty anymore” – but the difference is he’s actually playing, not just watching from the clubhouse.

“My wife says I’m like a different person,” he admits. “Having that Thursday game back, seeing the boys, being outdoors – it’s given me my retirement back.”

Curious what he found? You can take a closer look at Koru FX here.

He keeps a bottle of Koru FX in his golf bag now, right next to his tees and ball markers.

“Some guys carry lucky balls. I carry this,” he grins, pulling out the distinctive bottle. “Though I suppose it’s more than luck when it actually works.”

Last week, Perry played that 18th hole again for the first time in two years. His approach shot landed six feet from the pin.

“Missed the putt,” he laughs. “But just being there to miss it – that felt like a hole in one to me.”

Perry’s Thursday crew aren’t the only ones asking what’s in that bottle. So how is it possible for a little-known Kiwi cream to be building such a quiet following?

The secret is in Koru FX’s unique formula, unlike anything else currently available.

It harnesses 16 natural oils. Black pepper, nutmeg and rosemary widen surface vessels so nutrients can pass through the dermal layer; peppermint, eucalyptus and mānuka trigger a rapid cooling of over-excited nerve endings; antioxidants such as calendula and chamomile then flood joints with polyphenols for hours of comfort.

The approach is based on Nobel-winning science by American biochemist David Julius, who showed that botanical compounds like peppermint can modulate temperature-sensing nerve channels that influence pain signalling.

By working with our bodies built in signalling system, the makers of Koru FX have been able to deliver the fast-acting, long-lasting comfort people are looking for – but without all the nasties.

It’s not just golfers noticing, either. Professional sports trainer Ricki Jacobs says this sort of joint and muscle relief often delivers wider benefits too. “When people can move without fearing a flare-up, their confidence, social life and even sleep rebound just as quickly,” he notes.

Koru Nutrition, the Christchurch company behind the product, offers a 60-day money-back guarantee acknowledging that everyone is unique and has different challenges when it comes to joint health.

“I think it’s really important people can try Koru FX for themselves with the peace of mind of 60-days to give it a really good go.”

“There’s no such thing as a silver-bullet but this way people can know if it works for them just as it has for thousands of others,” says André Linton, Managing Director of Koru Nutrition.

For those who want to give it a try, Koru Nutrition are offering readers discounts of up to 40 per cent.

Perry insists he’s already taken advantage of the offer saying, “I’ve got no intention of spending my retirement on the couch.”

What makes Koru FX #1 for Joint Relief?

What makes Koru FX so effective is its unique blend of 16 essential oils and plant extracts, carefully selected to work together in perfect synergy. Ingredients like peppermint and eucalyptus provide deep, antioxidant support, while nutmeg and black pepper extract supercharges the absorption process. These key elements help dilate the skin, allowing the soothing nutrients to penetrate faster and reach the joints where they’re needed most.

Deep Absorption

Black pepper and nutmeg dilate skin vessels, enabling the absorption process to begin.

Fast-Acting Comfort

Peppermint, Eucalyptus, and Manuka Oil + 10 other anti-oxidants reach the joint, creating a cooling sensation.

Long-Lasting Support

Following the cooling sensation, a deep and soothing warmth occurs. This indicates the joint has been successfully ‘flooded’ with anti-oxidants.

This advanced absorption technique was first discovered by David Julius, an American biochemist, who won a Nobel Prize in 2021 for his groundbreaking research on how the body perceives pain. Koru Nutrition has since applied his findings to develop New Zealand’s most effective natural joint relief cream.

It’s this fast-acting, deeply penetrating formula that turned Perry from a sceptic into believer – and why thousands of Kiwis trust Koru FX every single day.

Over 52,429 Happy Customers and Counting

Reading the reviews, it’s easy to see why so many Kiwis are turning to Koru FX for natural relief… and why so many are quietly leaving a bottle where their other half will find it.

Wow... My wife and I have osteo arthritis in many places in our limbs, and most remedies are ineffectual, however, when I applied Koru FX to my fingers, there was almost instant relief, within three minutes the pain is dramatically reduced. My wife also has arthritis, her fingers are bent and crippled. only minutes after applying Koru FX, the pain is reduced. This is not a cure, but it certainly is the best cream that we have found after many, many years of searching. Thanks Koru Nutrition, you ROCK!!!

The best muscular and arthritic joint relief around. I proved this years ago when other well advertised pain relief products just did not do the job. Out of desperation I sent away for some Koru FX and amazingly it worked really well. Our family have used FX for several years now and get genuine pain relief. Highly recommend it. John B

I have given so many of these to friends. One last week in fact. I have arthritis which doesn’t much bother me while using it every morning. I put it on my shoulders, elbow, lower back, knees, top & under my feet. I’m going through a bottle quite quickly these days. It’s been just amazing for me. I’ve been getting it from you for probably seven years. Three years at my current address & before that at 3/59 Cook St. Howick, Auckland. If you could please look it up & tell me how long it’s been. Thanks, Jude
