I'll see your two front nines and raise you... Friday at Blackmoor:Thursday Camberley front 9 - 24pts ?
Friday Blackmoor front 9 - 12pts ?

Well as I started Blackmoor on the 10th it would appear we did equally well (hmmm) over the same stretch of holes ?I'll see your two front nines and raise you... Friday at Blackmoor:
Front 9 - 19 points (with three three-putts)
Back 9 - 12 points!

You would probably be in the Whippersnappers team at a forum meet.Inconsistency and slow play were the reasons I stopped, after playing for over 60 years.
I was hitting either really good shots or very bad shots, nothing in between.
I was looking forward to retirement, playing with the old boys and bobbing along about a steady 10 handicap.
Sadly that did not happen.
I was a real steady Eddie golfer in my prime, rare for me to hit a poor score or damaging shot.
'Even your bad shots are good' was a comment I often heard,

Lower your expectations , dig out the old clubs again and enjoy the company![]()
Start again left handed? A completely new challenge and cannot be compared to how you were. (or right handed if you were already a leftie).My daughter told me that about 8 years ago.
Well her actual words were ' just admit to yourself that you are a 'carp' golfer and take it from there.
It did not work.
One of my old friends was a decent pro in his era and was later involved at the top end of the PGA.
He retired at 65 and does not play at all now.
As I moaned once more about my struggles with my golf my pro kindly told me…you’re no longer a young man…you are not as flexible as you once were so don’t expect to hit the ball like they do…you can do it differently…maybe not hit it so far, but good enough for what should be your expectations (he might well have added…at your age)My daughter told me that about 8 years ago.
