@ 74 I am still playing some courses from the tips. The last one was 6900+ yards. Shot a 90...41-49...grrrr.
I still have the distance but I don’t have the game for that.
Heck I don’t have the game I should have from the senior tees @ 5800-ish

I look more toward course rating/slop than yards.

If you want a rough estimate of which tees to play from, times your 5 iron distance by 36.
Seems short to me, but I heard this from a teaching pro.

Lost 8 balls yesterday. I just shut golf down for the rest of the year.
My knees are on fire and until I get that fixed, it’s useless.

Keep hittin ‘em hard, they’ll come down somewhere.

6900 yards is an impressive yardage to still shoot 90. You’re too hard on yourself, stylin. Bad knees on a golfer is a tough break though. There shouldn’t be much standing in the way of keeping your short game sharp until the knees are replaced. Between the new knees and a great short game, you’ll have no trouble at all breaking 90 from the tips.
