For some of us older golfers, there comes a time when the game heads south. It can be a temporary thing or maybe it just happens with age? Be it physical, mental, or just plain time to accept a change, golf is a fickle game. Golf can bring the strongest of men to their knees and when Father Time kicks in, we wonder what the heck is going on. You have Touring Pros, like Hale Irwin shooting their age (66) but most of us mortals, just don't have that kind of skill. I use to shoot low 80's on a fairly regular basis on my home course. Heck I shot in the 70's quite a few times last year, which is not really anything special on my home course. It's a short little course with not much of a challenge, so breaking 80 is no big deal. Young golfers have struggles them selves however when us older guys struggle, even with many years of practice & play,,,, the ship still sinks
