I'll play if I can ride the cart to the ball, but I won't be doing that long. I'll give her the three weeks. I still end up walking a lot, even with the cart since I will bail with a few clubs and hit the ball while the others contemplate their shots or look for a lost ball. I don't spend a lot of time looking for them. I just drop another one and hit it. I am not sure why they were there but I found a trash can with about 200 balls in it down by the boat ramp and I am still hitting them. I think it may have been a neighbor cleaning out the garage after her hubby died. Most were premium balls with a bunch of Callaways, Nike and Pro-Vs. Hubby was a ranger and he may have been getting them from the greens keeper. They are a nice find for the guys hitting behind me. It is not like finding a Top Flight ;-) I'd love to come across a find like that. Our local course (Greendale) doesn't have a driving range, but it does have a lake next to #10. I put most of the found balls in my 'lake bag'. Then when I go play I'll hit a half dozen or so into the lake, aiming for the water fountain. I seldom use a cart. If I have to, I try to get the other person to drive and then do the same thing. Grab a handfull of clubs and a putter and say, "See you on the green." I used to spend most of my day "farther right" but old age, my various arthritis and joint things has straightened out my drive. The last time I played I spent most of the day in the fairway. I played 8 holes with the same ball. Then I put 4 in the lake ;-) A big part of it is I am not trying to kill the ball. I just use a nice easy swing, not trying to put anything on it and I am still getting out there 250 yards or more. I just concentrate on the club face hitting the ball square and let the club do the work, nothing fancy. Can't wait for my drive to straighten out! |

If it means anything, a little stiffness in my right knee did the trick. Have someone hit you right in the patella tendon with a 9 iron before you walk into the tee box. ;-) |

I took up golf for a while in my late 30's and early 40's. Often went with a friend who was 12 years older than me. We'd notice young, teenaged or early 20's golfers effortlessly smacking the ball down the fairway compared to our game. My older friend called them, "Flexible Flyers". |
