Hi all, just returning to golf after a 20 year absence. Began playing pretty steadily in 1990, stopped in 1996 for a variety of reasons. A RSI to my right shoulder kept me away for the most part. A few weeks ago in Westin, FL, my wife and I decided to hit a bucket at Bonaventure GC. Shoulder was good, now I have been on the range and par 3 courses. With shoulder still OK, have decided to jump back in. 

I am in the Princeton area, and hope to get on a real course in the next month or so. In the process of upgrading my 25 year old cheap starter clubs, and started with a Callaway XR 16. I'm sure there will be more to follow...

Bonus....Now I'm retired, and can actually practice!

 

Best, Tom

Welcome to the site @Swungover! You'll be pleased to know there are quite a few good courses in your area. The Mercer County Parks system does a really good job for it's residents. The Mercer Oaks East and West Courses as well as Mountain View are some challenging tracks. Just don't push that shoulder too hard.

Thanks, I used to have a regular time at Mercer Oaks. Bunker Hill is my home course.

      "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)
