Good afternoon folks.

Only found the forum this morning and it looks to be the most active golf forum I can find.

A bit about myself, Having played golf when I was a youth I stupidly moved away from the sport 18 years ago. Since then I have only played once or twice a year. This year I am joining my first club in years and cannot wait to get back into competitive golf.

 

At one time playing off single figures I am now struggling badly for any form so you may find a my swing video up sooner rather than later.

 

I look forward to getting chatting and re-learning the game that I should never have given up.

Welcome. Looks like you are in quite a spot for golf as well.

I'm sure you find some useful advice as you work to regain form.

Welcome to the forum blue

Like you I gave up golf only to start back up years later. Interestingly, I'm not good but I'm playing better now at an older age than I ever did when I was younger.

I am indeed, All down the west coast here in ayrshire there are some fantastic courses and I always feel blessed to have played most of them. I recently played round the kintyre course at Turnberry for the first time it was a real gem. Sadly the 70mph winds did nothing to help scoring leading to a morale sapping 120 score but a great track none the less.

I spent my youth years playing in troon on the public owned courses. A student of the links!

And to think I was crying the other week over 40 mph gusts knocking my ball down here in Ohio.

I'll get over there one of these days when I rich and better at golf.

I have never experienced wind quite as brutal. Carts racing all over the place, I carry so the bag acting as a sail and blowing me backwards. Still, enjoyable all the same?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 9, May 13.  After work, I went to my practice room for a dozen balls (two sessions of a half dozen each).  I may do more later, but I wanted to make sure I posted here too.  Same priority as yesterday, with the arms lifting.

      Too Old ?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Hi @RetiredOldMan!  I am glad to see you are still playing and having good scores.  I hope that when I am 79, I am not only able to play, but still able to produce as good scores as you have been doing.   I look forward to hearing more of your success and your opinion of the senior flex shafts.

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Hello Golfing Buddies, It has been awhile since I posted but I am the Retired Old Man that asked for advice because I suffered two "T.I.A.'s about switching from playing right handed to playing left handed.  I purchased a Callaway Edge Left handed golf clubs. I changed the grips to oversize grips.  Well, two weeks ago and still at 79 years old, I shot a 44 and 47 on a small course in my hometown.  I am currently changing my shafts from regular flex to Senior flex.  So, you can see' it can be done! So, you other old timers; get with the program! Blessings to all of you. Retired Old Man (Terry Warner)
