Yeah I'm pretty lucky that at 55 I can still poke it out there pretty good, hit a couple over 300 yesterday in fact. But the accuracy these guys have is amazing. I had a rough day off the tee and hit 4 tee balls out of play, 2 of which were OB. I think I read something recently where Calvin Peete only hit 2 balls OB in like a 15 year span or something like that.@Zambo there was a time I would’ve looked forward to playing such a long and tough course, but I’m well passed that now. Like you I marvel at how good those guys really are. Hitting 300+ off the tee ACCURATELY is just amazing to me at my age. I do enjoy the majors where they’re penalized for slopping it around and emphasizes strategy often over brute strength.
I'm a 5 handicap and I think the best score I ever had at TP was like an 82...usually I was closer to 90. Par, double bogey, par, double bogey...lather rinse repeat.
