Today, I was shown there is light at the end of the tunnel as far as my golf game goes.
I'm not able to play golf as often as I like to and my physical condition is out of shape. Major injury seemed not that distant so I thought, this is the twilight of my golf game.
I had a few hours this morning and future weather forecasting rain, rain, rain for 2 weeks........ being the last day with sunshine in the mid 70° F, I walked on a local links style golf course as a single.
Paired with one other single and these twosomes. First impression, they are super seniors.
After the first few holes I thought it'll be just another day of golf with some super senior golfers. They looked so old, I wondered if the third guy could finish walking the 18 with a push cart.
Guess what ? The youngest of the three whom walked with me is 78, I had found this out after we got to talking a bit. And the big surprise came in the back nine with this 83 year YOUNG, out drove all of us. A skinny super senior whom wore hearing aids but sport the latest in golf equipment. Taylormade M2 driver and fairway woods , RSI 2 irons with graphite shaft. 83 years, and we paced his driving distance like 265, 275, 270..............
Good short game but the putter failed him today, he missed many birdie and par putt. Surface on the greens were not perfect.......
I'd never thought I'd seen the day got beaten by a bunch of super senior old geezers. Granted, I had not been playing much , no practice and weak from injury ( gets tired very soon on the left hand, arm and the shoulder ).
I am glade that I'll have something to look forward to.
