Your post shows that you have not played with middle aged guys much - which is understandable given your age and experience...
There are several guys at my place who are between 53 - 57 years old who play to a 3-6 index all the time. We have a 75 year old woman who has an index of 6. She's been playing for 60 years. She carried an index of 0-2 for 45 years.
I had been a 9 index for several years and knew how to do it. It was about ten years ago. All I did was get my game back - and this case - more. My best previous handicap was 9 (at age 40) and at age 49 - I dropped to a 7.0.Last summer - not only did I shoot my lowest score ever - 73, but I shot my four best consecutive scores.
The key for Silver is to "break through" the left to right issue for good. And only lessons can do that for him.... |
