Get to the senior tees cohen don't be such a hero. Make it fun again geez you deserve it. Heck you said 5800 yards is about it for you, isn't that the senior tees most places? Im only 60 and I don't enjoy much more than 6500-6600 anymore. Even then I have to hit it pure off the tee to enjoy the day or else it's all about the 54 and 58 degree guys to get it close for a chance to save pars on 440 and longer often.
Walk forward and tee it up, c'mon!
The guy I play with the most is a hard sell. He’s a couple of years younger and plays way more than I do these days. Not an exaggeration, he might be the biggest golf fanatic in history. He’s played every public course in CT at least once and several private, most RI courses and a bunch in MA and Maine. He takes a least one major week long golf trip a year and often two to some of the best locartions and courses in the US, Canada and Europe When I lived in the Hartford area, we and for stretches a few other pals, were the first or second group every Sat at Keney. We were pretty even then, mostly mid 80s, usually not much higher and occasionally lower. I was always much longer than he with every club but he was more consistent. Now I out drive him once in a while and am still longer with other clubs, but I’ve played 45 holes this year and he’s played almost 200. It’s rare for me to outscore him now, even on a 9, and it’s usually because he’s off a little. He and his wife never had kids so he spends his money on golf.
When we only played as a 2some on Keney Sat, , if we were second off we’d go through the group in front of us on #2, (they were regulars we knew,) and literally finish 18 in about 2.5 hours. We played fast even when we weren’t playing well. One day a guy saw us walk off 18 at a little after 8am and he asked how we could be done with 18 so early. I told him we wanted to sneak back home before our wives woke up.
