So I play a lot with my father in law. He took up the game around 50, and is now 64. He has never been anything more than a typical weekend warrior 20 index. We still have fun but lately, age is starting to creep in. He is losing distance, he is scoring worse, and becoming more frustrated.
He has your typical old school male ego. Very competitive, doesn't want to show "weakness". I'd like to have a conversation with him that it's ok to move up a tee box, he doesn't have to play the same tee as me (34), his son (39) and his other son in law (40). Just looking to encourage him to consider some changes that might make it more fun for him again. Whether it's tee choice, or maybe time to get fitted for graphite, whatever it may be.
I'm sure some of you have had this conversation before. How did you initiate it?
