Typhoon We still like to walk the golf courses when we could so extra golf clubs are extra weight to lug around for 18 hilly golf courses. I had decided not to get my motorized caddy when my wife retired last year and decided she wanted to join the golf crowd. Great that she did, now she also watch golf tournaments on screen with us ( my kids, their spouses and me ), no complain for being gone for 5-6 hours for a silly game ( traffic has been really bad in recent years, on and off the golf course).
Yeah, I used to carry half a bag of clubs scavenged from my father's bags, the bargain bin in the pro-shop, then to a full bag; then to half a bag because I could do that for fun. Now back to 13-14 clubs on my push cart, My biggest issue of my golf game since I crossed the age of 70 is, no reliable club from 170-130 yards out. Lost 35 pounds of muscle from 30 years ago. Going back and forth from stiffer shafts to softer shafts depending on how I feel that day when rolling off the bed.
Not complaining, it is always good to get on the golf course.
One of the guys in our group passed suddenly on the 14th hole at our weekly venue. No warning sign and no history of health issue. One other guy said a few weeks later, that he will have to make more time for golf now since he is worried that this might happen to him without warning.
Funny, he did not say anything about other things in life but just need to get more golf in before his ship comes in.
