Several years ago I got back into the game of golf with the goal of playing for the rest of my life and getting better at the game. That all began with a gift of some good golf clubs and lessons. I added two serious factors to the new clubs and lessons - 1. I connected with a group of guys that I play regularly with that were comparable golfers and... 2. I committed to playing at least once a week. I have kept that commitment and my friends and I have had a lot of fun and we steadily get better. I started out rarely breaking 100, moved down through the nineties to the eighties and now I have played two rounds in the seventies! I am currently at a 12 handicap and enjoy the game so much! I find that the game relaxes me. I am a pretty competitive person, but golf is more about competing with yourself than it is with others - I like that. I got a new set of clubs last year and that really helped. Playing regularly helps me improve my swing and regularly work on things. It is great exercise and a wonderful time hanging out with close friends. I look forward to playing the rest of my life and I hope my grandkids will pick up the game and it will become something we can enjoy together one day!
