He fell off a chair docking lambs and broke his arm. What he found afterwards has his golf club talking.
"I fell off my chair while she was docking lambs and broke my arm," Danny says. "You can imagine the state I was in? Couldn't even hold a big bottle of Waikato, let alone get the top off."
His wife's response, for the record: "She couldn't stop laughing and kept telling me to get stuffed every time I asked for help." He calls her a great woman. He means it.
Before the chair, Danny was already semi-retired from the farm. Dodgy knees and hips had put him on the sidelines while she handled the calves and drove the tractor. When the cast came off, his arm was weaker than before. So he went looking.
What he found
He went online searching for what he now calls "a miracle" and came across a natural New Zealand-made cream. He rubbed it in. Then he went to golf.
"My golf handicap improved by four strokes in the first week. Never been around in under 100, and all of a sudden here I am getting pars and birdies. Everyone at the club thought I was taking some illegal substances!"
Word got round the clubhouse. An elderly couple who needed two days to finish nine holes asked him what he was on. He gave them some. They're cycling the Motu Trail twice a week now, at 80.
Then the priest pulled him into the confessional. "He tells me he got tennis elbow from dishing out communion, patting kids on the head, and shaking hands with all the parishioners. He'd heard I had some magic potion."
Danny gave him two bottles. "The bugger beat me at golf on Saturday."
Why a cream did what nothing else had
The cream is Koru FX, made in Christchurch from 16 natural oils, and it does three things in order rather than one. Black pepper and nutmeg open the surface vessels so the rest can get through the skin. Peppermint, eucalyptus and mānuka bring a fast cooling to over-excited nerves. Then antioxidants like calendula and chamomile settle in for hours of comfort. It absorbs quickly, it doesn't smell like a rugby changing room, and Danny says it kept working long enough to get through eighteen holes.
How the cream works
Deep absorption
Black pepper, nutmeg and rosemary widen the surface vessels so the nutrients pass through the skin.
Fast-acting comfort
Peppermint, eucalyptus and mānuka bring a rapid cooling to over-excited nerve endings.
Long-lasting support
Antioxidants such as calendula and chamomile follow, for hours of comfort.
Koru FX is made in Christchurch, New Zealand, from 16 natural oils.
