My goal was to be a .500 hitter at breaking 80, and at 65, I'm still close to being that.
This season I got out into the deep water and put up a 74, my best round in at least a decade. That's hardly typical, however. Dropping a putt for 79 is an elation, and frankly, always has been.
Playing several times a week as a retiree is helpful in keeping it together.
If I played mostly weekends as when I was still working, my game would have diminished a lot more, I'm pretty sure.
Earlier this season I played a course that I had only shot in the 70s on a handful of times. I struggled all the way around the course and never really added them up. Sank a long putt on the 18th and went to the bar for a cold one.
My buddy added them up and said, "79". I about shat my pants. Golf
