One of my friends just turned 64. His dad still plays(in his late 80's) and still shoots, occassionally , in the 70's, playing the courses at about 6,000 yards.
My friend's dad told him that he played the best golf of his life at age 64. My buddy is good, about a 5 , and feels that this is his year.
I am fast approaching 60. It is strange, but, I am, in fact, playing better than I ever have. I take more club, not fighting the loss of distance too much, and it is amazing how much easier it is to score when I just accept that I hit a 5 iron around 175, now.
I wonder, if I will continue to improve and for how long. I know a lot depends on staying in decent shape and whether my health holds.
Are other guys seeing this, that they are getting better this late in life? What a great game.
