That's the thing: You'll lose your legs, your athleticism, but if you can shoot - definitely from 3 - you can play into your high thirties.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think I can always shoot 3s. I think I can shoot 3s when I'm 60.
The reality is, I'm not 24 or 34 anymore. Things are going to be different when I prepare for and when I compete in an athletic endeavor.
If I can play 15 when I am 25, I can play 35 when I'm 55.
I got into pro ball at 18 and played until I was almost 39, non-stop.
Age is just a number. When I started, I never worried about how long I was going to play. I had very specific goals, and that's what I really chased.
I was shooting in the low 70s and 60s by the time I was 12. That's the great thing about golf. It doesn't matter how old or young you are. If you're 90 and can shoot a good score, people will want to play with you.
You can play older than yourself. You can play younger than yourself up to a point, and then that just becomes impossible because you carry a weight with you that you can't shift, unless you have very boyish looks.
Unless you're a vegan freak of nature like Tony Gonzalez, I don't think you can play sports much past your early 30s.
I hope I'm still shooting when I'm 80.
Hopefully I won't be 35 still playing a 16-year-old.
