Two things I never ask anyone:  What do you do for a living? And what score did you shoot at golf? Too easy to be judgmental. Too painful sometimes for a person to feel they have to answer. And the answer doesn't speak to the whole story, anyway. So, with golf, I merely ask what their best shot of the day was, how they managed the rain, is that new driver working out okay?

Two guys at the range yesterday, weather reasonable (40's). Both are about 85 years old, and each hitting about 100 yds with their driver.   They play from 5800 yds and surely get their money's worth.  

I'm thinking I'm going to move up as far as possible until I can shoot par, and only then start moving back.  I think I can do it from 5800 yds. I can't from 6150. We'll see. Should help at home too, spouse only asks what I scored, not the details.  

a local course is introducing something called "Operation 36" where, as I understand it, they teach players starting on the green, once they can finish 9 in 36, they move back some distance, rinse and repeat gradually expanding. Interesting concept, I thought about enrolling my nephew so I would have a regular playing partner lol have not done it yet.
