back to the subject - from a newspaper article (copied from golfgods.com blog ):
"Whatever their physical condition, golfers seem to be enjoying themselves. Among survey respondents, 76 percent consume an average of 6.8 alcoholic drinks per week. Nine percent admitted to drinking 10 or more beers during a round of golf."

I can't even drink yet.. :-p

But, if I could, I wouldn't. I've seen too many 10 handicaps double their handicap through drinking.

I do not drink when I play. No particular reason other than I take golf maybe a bit too seriously.

There is a good article in the new Golf Digest about how golf is hard on our bodies. Nothing about the game is a natural movement our bodies want to do. We have back, hip and knee problems over time and I am living evidence that hips can wear out. I've got a titanium right hip as of last Nov and I am playing again but no where near the level I once was. It's really frustrating and I want to shoot 80 or below but I just can't do it. I went to graphite shafts in my irons but I'm not sure that will ease the discomfort of arthritus in my hands and back. I'm back out there tho and thats a miracle I thought would never happen.

Golf is not a game, it's a way of life!

      Day 75 (15 Jul 25) - Wedge work today in the backyard.  Focused on setup and  dialing in on immediate target line point in front of club. This drill helps me to center on longer range targets for tee shots as well as approaches.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I still need to do my pieces better.  Still a little steep in the downswing. Hands could get better depth earlier in the backswing.  This shot started left of target and went left. Probably path was out, face was closed a lot.       At A5, it’s probably the best it’s been.  I need to feel more shallowing from A5 to A6. Hands need to go straight down and club needs to shallow. I need to turn. I am just way too closed here. Just trying to buy time to lower the arms. Everything stalls from time to time. Timing is highly variable. Not a big fan of the slight EE.  I am just hanging back at impact.

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Well, on a "Bummer Note,"  I borrowed a Great Big Bertha driver, a 5 wood, and a 7 iron. I did not do very well but did shoot a 112 playing both right and left handed.   So, I decided to take a breather and play golf on my Play Station 5 and not play any real golf until the new set of clubs get her.  So, I will be back in  a week or so and bring everyone up to date.    Retired Old Man = Terry

      I usually just drink a beer after playing golf. I may stretch my arm out and alert the barkeep that I want a second beer!
