Keeping my finger crossed.....hoping to play better in months and years to come:


Quote :
There is more evidence that those who are already 40 -- a group which also includes past major champions Mike Weir, Angel Cabrera and Retief Goosen -- have a leg up on their peers in more areas than just birthday candles, even if such a discovery comes indirectly.

Buoyed by an artificial hip and an apparent full-body cleansing in the Fountain of Youth, Tom Watson contended into the weekend at Augusta National two months ago at the ripe ol' age of 60. Just a few weeks later, baby-faced and wild-haired Rory McIlroy claimed his initial U.S. title at Quail Hollow while still under the legal drinking age of 21.

It would be careless to base a hypothesis on these two performances alone, but it's a safe bet that the prime age for an elite golfer is somewhere between 20 and 60. We can either split the difference and call it 40 or ask the opinions of those who know such things.

"You know, maturity is very important in the game," Padraig Harrington said. "So probably your prime age is 40, as long as you're physically still there."

Considering the three-time major winner won't even turn 39 until later this summer, he contends, "I don't believe I've hit my prime, no."

"It's always been said that the early-30s is kind of the prime age," Mickelson said. "However, if I look at my game today [versus] where I was five years ago, I see a big difference. And so I feel like I still have my best golf ahead of me."

Age is but a figure.....its all in your state of mind. If you think you can golf, you can, regardless of age. Very Happy
