Aside from the being outside, getting exercise, being friends/family stuff....this is what it's all about for me. You can have your long drives, long putts, whatever.....but a pured iron shot is what keeps me coming back.

This does it for me also. Any shot that is pure keeps me coming back. It's the natural high that I crave.

The feeling you get after splitting a fairway past all your playing partners, and the easy, long walk to the ball, all while knowing you don't have to look for it or think about a creative way to get on the green.

I'd like to add one other thing. The ability to just bend down, pick up your tee, and walk to your bag after you know you crushed one dead center and you don't need to watch it, because it'll be right where you intended.

A well struck iron shot. The ones where you hit down and through creating a perfect size divot and the result is a high slight draw that sticks next to the pin.


Now if I could only hit that shot I would love golf, but I can't, so I don't.

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
