I've been playing for about 25 years. I picked up the game when I had knee surgery and hoops/tennis were no longer sports I could play.
I've always been able to hit driver but no go on wedges. Over the years with kids etc, practice became tough. Playing was even less as AAU games took over.
With that said, I got down to a 7 at my best with my goal of 5 every year. Back in 2016 I had a health issue and it put me way back. Strength, speed all gone. I was so frustrated that I couldn't hit like I used to, that I went minimal sets, and "played" golf vs golf "swing". I've hovered at 10 ever since. Now both my boys play so I just go and enjoy the walk. Nothing beats that.
This season I'm going to try a different wedge setup and see if 14 clubs will be beneficial. Either way I won't be taking golf too seriously, but will always try to go as low as possible.
