Golf is the only sport where you pay obscenely high prices to play as little as possible. /25 handicap and loving it.
I fluctuate from 9-12 handicap, {from the gold tees} on my home course, it's very easy to play, little sand, little water, great big {some are 15,000 square feet} smooth greens {about 11 on the meter}, few trees and not many hills. I'm in my mid-70s been playing 50+ years and was once a single digit handicapper, but golf is still fun.
I'll play as long as my health allows, although today, a 210 yard drive for me, is as good as it gets, so when I see these young guys hitting them 350+ it puts it all in perspective.
I shot my age last year so I'm a happy camper.
