Right.

I met a guy at the chipping green that looked phenomenal. I thought I was good, but this guy blows me away. I started talking to him and found out that he's about 28 years old and tries to get into mini-tour tournaments (Tries?). He said he practices 4 hours per day, every day.

Now I'm depressed.

If he going to turn professional - then we have to compare with an ordinary work day. At 28 he almost too old..?

Hitting 800 balls a day and engaging in clubhead throw away each time won't help!

Indeed. I had coffee with two friends and one asked for a referral for a good teacher for the fellow that replaced him in his high level executive job. My other friend went on to say there were many good teachers around and to just get one in the area, you couldn't go wrong. I almost had an apoplectic fit.
The questioner then looked at me said we would meet with the young fellow next week for a some suggestions. I told him if the teacher is not well versed in the works of Homer Kelley, run away.
We will be having coffee next week and then an appointment with Mr. Carter should come next.
Point being, there are many teachers of golf. There seem to be very few teachers of G.O.L.F. The difference is enormous.

I dont believe in the age thing. Its just a number. If you can shoot low, you can shoot low.

Too old! I am 41, quit my job, moved the family to Florida and now make a living as a full time touring professional. I have yet to miss a mortgage payment! The ball has no idea how old you are. I was told by many I was too old. I didn't listen, now I play and make a living full time.

You must be encouraged to see how a lot of old timers - like Kenny Perry etc have performed in their late 40's - and after that there is the senior tour. Didn't Hale Irwin (65) shoot his age this year?
