Hey Dog51: If you've been to the Masters, you can skip all the rest.
Actually, I used to go to a few tournaments, (Riviera, Palm Springs, etc. when I lived in So. Calif.), but I've lived in the Sierras since I retired and although I've been to Pebble Beach a few times for the tournament, (About 4 hours from my place), I'd prefer at my age to spend my time playing golf.
I've personally been involved in athletics my entire life, in one form or the other, and in my opinion, nothing comes close to golf. Reason being, there is not the short shelf life that is there for other sports. If you get a good solid foundation, and work out enough to maintain good flexibility, you can remain competitive long enough to be a pain-in-the-ass to younger players.
I'd also like to add that regardless of what degree your addiction to golf is, it will be very helpful in your transition from working to the retirement mode. (My wife is 100% behind my
affliction).
Keep your left arm straight, right tucked in at impact, and "Grip it and Rip it".
Good Luck, Jarhead
