I play with alot of old guys, too. Can someone please tell me how they have a 1/4 backswing, and about 1/2 turn finish and still drive the ball 250yds down the center of the fairway?

I am not saying anything bad about it or that it is an inferior (spelling?) game. Just that it takes time, practice and discipline to play that game...and many old men use it very well. Maybe it is because I play at a club where over 50 percent of the members are 60 plus years old....I see it everyday.

LOL, my partner this weekend stood about 5'5"...made constant old and short jokes about himself...he also swung a driver about 47 or so inches long....damn thing came up to his chest. Has the limited turn and all that plus a great hitch kind of thing that I couldn't explain if i wanted to and on what seemed like every T box

Down the middle, 225 nothing but net...

Great Stanley Kubrick movie... my favorite part is when Slim Pickens goes through the survival kit inside the B-52.

Survival kit contents check. In them you'll find: one .45 caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days concentrated emergency raisons; one drug issue containing: antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair a nylon stockings. Shoot, a fellah could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff. Also, "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!" is classic.

For those of us in my generation who may still be slow on the uptake, it's "Dr. Strangelove." Maybe a key component to old man golf; maybe not.

CLASSIC Film. There is no fighting in the war room.

A 5 on each hole is 90 for 18, the big plus is that you always have those par 3's to break 90. play all the holes as they are a par 5 - and relax. if you bogey the par3's thats 2 under and you will break 90 :)

You know that is great advice...since I always play the hole. So a par 4 is a par 4, and guess what I rarely break a 90 actually lucky to break 95 on a regular.
