Congratulations to Mike McCoy who wins the 2013 men's Mid-Am at age 50. Always good to see one of us old guys beat a bunch of flat bellies! Next stop, Augusta. :dance:

Yeah, I heard the news on Golf Channel yesterday.   He won after 38 or 39 tries.   That's perseverance. Ditto for Ken Duke. I saw his playoff win on TV and was all pumped.    They should pair those two at the Masters.

Some of those old timers are no joke.  They might not hit it far but they hit it really straight.  Usually straight is better than far.

I am not surprised. The best golfers I see around here are in the 40-60 range. My home course was once a private course that runs through a 50+ community. There are a lot of really good middle aged members there.

That's awesome, gives me hope that I've still got some good years of golf to enjoy.  Now I just can't wait to start enjoying some good golf.

Oh Geez.......I was expecting to read about a much older golfer!!!  When I think Mid-Am.......I think 35-54. Keep in mind, 55 is the age requirement to enter the SR AM.   I had no idea the age requirement was reduced to 25.  I thought it was 35!!

Hahaha.......with that said, the guy was only 50 for Pete's sake!!   I looked it up....he won the championship match 8&6.....4&3 in the Semis, 7&6 in the quarters........OMG!!!!  I consider that a bigger story than him being 50! WOW.....talk about kicking some ARSE!!

I didn't know 50 was "old". That was almost 8 years ago and I don't think I'm old now.

May have lost a step or two in the 40 over the years but I don't have to run the 40 in golf.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Hitting some good shots on my golf trip. It's good I can tell when I hit better shots the way I want to swing the ball versus when I use an older swing. Shockingly, the short game has been at worst, not harmful to my game. I am using similar feels to the full swing, in that I try to get my hands down. I've been nipping the ball clean off the turf.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!

      Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?
