I am retired in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  I took up golf a quarter century ago, have been away from the game for the last six years or so, and am six weeks back into a resumption.  Lots of range time and practice rounds so far.  Years ago there was a Taylormade commercial with this guy in plus-fours with a Scots accent (I think the golfnow people may have recycled him), and he proclaims 'find your swing.'  Right now I can't even find my game, my less my swing.


You'll get there.  I played the Links de Santa Fe when I passed through.  Was a fun trek.  Congrats on b

I am a guest house owner in a small tourist town in South Africa. Which gives me time to practice and play my golf.

I retired too...so I could spend more time writing and painting.  And now maybe I'll have more time to practice and improve my golf game, although my martial arts practice can get the way of my golf practice.  I spent 40 years in the planning and design profession, the last 20 years was spend helping Mike Keiser bring Bandon Dunes into reality.  Now when I go down there I have time to play golf rather than simply work, work, work.  The last time I was at the resort I spent some time on the Punchbowl--the resort's putting course--and it improved my putting game.  Plus playing with a golf buddy, we turned it into an interesting game...check it out if you find yourself on the West Coast.


I'm a recruiter for an online ecommerce store similar to Amazon in the Chicago area.  Love what I do, but wish I had more time to golf!


I'm an 'IS Admin Generalist II' for an Aerospace company.  Been golfing about a year now.  Loving every second.


I've been an underground coal miner for the past 5 years, but i'm currently taking classes online to try and finish my degree so i can eventually move onto something a little safer and easier on my body.

    • I would say your back nine is the second nine you play that day. It's part of what makes getting some of those holes tougher. Or, if 18 holes are played pretty often, out of A, B, and C, and you often play A and C, A is the front and C is the back, regardless of the order you play them in. That way not birdieing C #7 isn't overcome by birdieing the easier A #7 on a day you played it C-A instead of A-C. But, at the end of the day, nobody really cares except yourself.
    • Day 128: played 9. Nice little even 9, with 2 birdies and 2 bogeys. 
    • @DeadMan, I think your approach makes sense. As @dennyjones said, consistency is the key.
    • Day 204 (22 Nov 24) - Weekly men’s group round today.  Temps in the upper 40’s, WNW winds 5-15mph - was the old man in the foursome (next youngest is my junior by 10yrs) - held my own against them.  Iron play getting more consistent -seeing predictable ball flights and distances. While the consistency coming around still had sone solid negatives as I had two dbls and one triple. On the plus side - eight pars and one birdie.  
    • I don't think anyone will really care.   It's your call.  Just be consistent.
