At age 61, approaching 62, I know the age/ability "line" if quickly approaching. I will probably not ever get much better... But, can I keep from allowing age to detrimentially affect the ability to score at this game?
20 years ago, I took this game far too seriously. Have evolved to enjoying this, often frustrating, game. As the attitude has become more relaxed and the game more enjoyable, the ability to score has become enhanced. Played some of the best and most consistent golf of my life this past year!
The nemisis of my game, this past year, was putting. My putting plain stunk! Carded many 81's to 83's with 4 to 6 putts missed under 4'. That MUST stop! That MUST change!
So, my goals are relatively simple... Keep the same consistency tee to green that I enjoyed this past year. Continue to hone my wedges and short irons so I can put the ball closer to the hole. Find a %$#@& putter that I can learn to appreciate and love because I feel confident it will make those money putts when it's relied upon!
