10 years ago I played around 4 rounds a year and was usually drunk by the 3rd tee box.
Today I'm a floundering 7 cap who plays just well enough to stay there.
Played 10x in 2008
Played 30 something last year
Didn’t have a handicap
7.9 today
All facets of the game are improved except my scripting, I dressed better back in the day
Play 100 times in 2019. Dare you.
Not enough of a good thing.
Doctors orders.
Right back at you buddy!One of the greatest cartmates ever.
I wish I was the golfer ten years ago that I am today. stop chasing distance, get more accurate and consistent, be a better putter. I've seen so many people who aren't long win state AM's and USGA tournaments. The guy who hits the most greens and makes more putts wins way more often.
The 10 Year Bag Challenge got me thinking back to my game 10 years ago and how it has changed both for better and worse.
So the question is, how is your game today vs how it was 10 years ago? Overall is it better or worse? What parts of your game have improved, and what have regressed? Any reasons why?
2.9 10 years ago today.
8.3 as of last update.
Played 59 rounds in 2008
Played 16 rounds in 2018
Did hit more balls on the range and course with launch monitor in 2018, so there is that.
I have seen it so much. My swing gets worse (more over the top and less smooth) as time goes by, but honestly I wouldn't change anything. I get to see and play some pretty special places and get to visit and spend time with THPers getting once in a lifetime treatments every month. So there is some win there. What's crazy is I love the game as much now as I ever have.
I hate to even think of this because all the hard work ,lessons, and practice Ive put into it and yet Im really not much better at all. Money, time, efforts. better ball striker, better at short stuff, much more knowledge and yet I cant repeat any of it all that much more consistently. Oh Im better by some strokes. I have less blow ups. But I am no where at all as better to match the efforts I have out into it. Its kind of disheartening to be honest.

I can certainly understand that. But as is human nature we tend to concern ourselves (feeling wise) with what we have going on in our own lives. Most anything any of us do or how any of us live we can find others we are more fortunate than. And it may sound selfish but truth is that we can still become frustrated in dealing with what we have on our plates even if others don't have it. Because whats relevant to us is what is on our own plates. That's whats in our world at the time.If you are able to get outdoors and are able to find enjoyment playing golf, then you are better off than many people who wish they were able to golf but can't because of being disabled or confined to a hospital bed. Basically what I'm saying is that score is not nearly as important as your level to enjoy playing the game and savoring the few moments in which you pull off a couple of memorable shots during a round of golf, and the great times on the course with golfing partners.
