Not sure I understand not using your hands for weights if you're also golfing, but overall I'd guess higher rep/lower weight stuff, and probably on machines to help with stability... find yourself a Planet Fitness and overall you can get a pretty comprehensive workout with their machines.
Light googling suggests weightlifting is especially beneficial for arthritis, so it seems like maybe there's some nuance or missing context for someone to say not to... or yeah maybe find a new doc.
