I class myself as an improving golfer
Age 60, been playing regularly for best part of 15 years, got down to 18 for a week under the old system about 8 years ago.
Since then a number of well documented medical issues put paid to any progress and indeed, put me back to where I started in terms of handicap.
Now fast forward I’ve just won a handicap board comp, had 3 shots knocked off as a result, beat my new handicap this morning, so another cut due. And left loads out there, so much room for better
I know I’m going to reach a plateau, but it is a thing of joy to A) still be able to play at all and B) to still be able to get better
Love this game (mostly)
To those older than myself, when did the decline start to kick in
To those whippersnappers, how long have you got left ?
