joking aside, I'm 60 have trouble with Tendonitis in both wrists, thumbs and elbows , two knackered ankles , dodgy knees , not much mobility in turning , heart attack 4 years ago , Diabetes , Glaucoma, two hernias and I'm fat , self taught up to 3 years ago , only been playing 5 years an a bit, and I only play once a week if I'm lucky and no practice , I'm not blaming my health for my crap game , but its not helping.

I got down to 18 h/cap two an a bit years ago, been out in the Wilderness for over 6 months and shooting triple digit scores, shot 96 a fortnight ago , h/cap of 28 , nett 68 , 7 pars and only 25 putts , 40 points, and Mrs H/cap secretary has cut me by 4 shots for the Shambles Meet in Birmingham on March the 3rd

At least it may stop the shouts of Bandit , until after we finish the round

My swing will smooth out hopefully after I get all the new stuff out of my head , my game has been Resurrected more times than Lazarus.

To be fair given the above you can't expect to get a full body turn and weight transfer

I have decided that my problems are more with the mental side, on my day I can play some amazing shots, but they are far too few and far between - so i'm trying to put the swings thoughts to the back of my mind and sort the mental side out.

If you enjoy the game then your a winner, I highly doubt any of us will ever earn a living out of golf so why worry!

I love my Golf , I fished for 50 years until I played my first few rounds of Golf , I got hooked , not touched a rod for 2 years now , its not a challenge anymore, now golf is different , every shot is a challenge , especially the way I play it.

That's one hell of a chicken wing you've got there Sham. I'm going to stat calling you Colonel Sanders.

If you fixed that, so many good things would follow i think.
