I used to think, "absolutely not."
But in coming back from injury in consecutive years in '18 and '19, I really thought both times that this was it. That my previous level of play couldn't realistically be reached again.
And, very surprising to me, I was OK with that. I was and am just so darn glad to be able to play at all that when my game actually did return, it was just icing on the cake.
The cake, the heart of my enjoyment, I've found, is just being out there on the course. Participating.
