I started playing golf just 3.5 months ago. Yesterday I shot +3 over 9 holes on a challenging course. I feel legitimately smug af.

Hey, I began playing last year, at 39yo. I suck! I' think I scored +40 in my first round.

Everything went well for me on this round. It was staggering. My putter was on fire, and I was hitting 175-225 yard shots super accurately. I expect my next round to be very different.

Regression to the mean.

Not sure the impact on the knees from kicking the ball is likely as bad as my 4" vert. I dropped 6-7 lbs immediately when I went back to playing indoors. I continued to play outdoor during the pandemic because Nor Cal has great weather. That was rough. I think it helped when I ramped things up.

My biggest thing is keeping my weight down. I have an athletic build but when I am playing 5-10 lbs too heavy I feel it in my knees. I'm about 5 lbs of fat away from a good weight and 10-15 away from ideal. When I am not playing basketball I have to really watch my diet... I am an easy gainer/loser.

At 30 I'm way more athletic and explosive than I was at 20. My body just hasn't be able to sustain it without pain.

Haha. I can see that. I’ll always think of that old avatar you had of the fat face. I always think of you that way. Lol

I'm 39 now so my explosive days are behind me. I had a really bad high ankle sprain at 20 and that was the end of my big vertical days.

You won a battle that she let you win... its a trap... there is a war coming and you ain't gonna make it.

Always knew my wife was the evil empire.

So what you are saying is if I hold this over her, I’m screwed?

So even when I win I lose? Thanks for ruining this for me @Handlogten's Heros

I’m 42 and about as un-athletic as I’ve ever been. Fat as hell and a bad knee
