Message: [QUOTE="msf22b, post: 3975314, member: 656"] I wonder, with the revelation that woman's gymnastics is not just the province of 15-17 year-olds, that with such super athletes as Phil and possibly another act of Tiger, we may yet see the possibility of winning majors at an age closer to 60. He (and certain commentators) alluded to the early portion of his career during which he faltered by regularly attempting impatient, ill advised low-percentage shots that were theoretically possible but unlikely...Yesterday he was willing to grind it out and prevailed. I was as impressed as anyone that Phil was able to keep his concentration intact and nerves in check as he fought off contenders and closed out the event in style. Is it possible that the natural aging process to include the reduction in male hormones might actually prove to be an advantage with regard nerves. On a personal note, as I turn 82, but still getting in my 20 or 30 minutes, gliding around the court and hoisting em up...with a decent % of 15-18 footers going in...no change apparent. But I am downsizing my sailing...putting the C&C 34 up for sale and taking up warm-water beach sailing with a Hobie Getaway based in the Bahamas. [/QUOTE]
