ME. When I got back into Golf I was terrible, that was NOT my prior MO. I would get angry when I couldn't make shots I used to. Decided no more Scoring, and it freed me up.Any seniors stop keeping score? At this age, it's about enjoying the walk for me with company or getting out as a single. Now, when I chunk one on a chip, I just hit another and don't think about it. In my younger years, a bad chip would ruin my day. I still want to play well. But, I no longer worry about the score. I also like to drive 1-2 hours to play different courses. Funny how priorities change when you hit this age.
We still keep score, but none of my normal group gets in a twist over it. I did shoot a personal best late last year, so I was glad I was keeping track. We also like to venture out for out of the way tracks. We have dozens of really fun courses within an hour’s drive, so it takes something special for us to go much further out than that.Any seniors stop keeping score?

Not yet. I keep score, play tournaments and maintain a handicap. I don’t particularly like practicing and walking a course and hitting a ball without keeping score is too much like practice for me. Being on the course, however, is infinitely better than a range. I spend a lot of time in the off season just walking local courses. So I understand why you and others might just hit and not worry about a total score.Any seniors stop keeping score? …

Thanks. I didn’t play great. Hit some nice shots and some miserable ones. But my opponent helped me out and won 2&1.Good luck, remember. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
Welcome, and you’re going to love the G425 Max!Hi All,
New to this thread, but good to be with other 60 plus golfers. I’m in the UK, play to single figures, and try to get out twice a week with friends. We’ve had a really wet spring here; I reckon we’ve lost 6 to 8 weeks proper golf because of wet and waterlogged holes. At last it’s starting to dry out. I’ve been trying a Ping G425 max I’ve recently bought, replacing an old Ping i15. Very different clubs, as you’d expect. Could do with some dry fairways to make some comparisons between the two!

Sometimes we score sometimes we don't... Just depends how I feel. Am going to try one competitive round a month to maintain my handicap.Any seniors stop keeping score?

Not me. I have a HI to see how my game is progressing, or not, and I play in a few tournaments a year and need a HI. The only time I don't keep score is if I'm working on mechanics out on the course as opposed to the driving range.Any seniors stop keeping score?
I post scores to keep an index because the people I play with on the weekends like to have a match. I also need an index to enter events at my club.Not me.

I keep score and track index on 90% of my rounds but will stop on really bad blow up rounds because that prevents me from getting frustrated. It’s not legit because most are solo rounds anyway. And I’m not bragging much about an over 20 index. Lol.Any seniors stop keeping score? At this age, it's about enjoying the walk for me with company or getting out as a single.

Hey, we all find our own way in this crazy game!ME. When I got back into Golf I was terrible, that was NOT my prior MO. I would get angry when I couldn't make shots I used to. Decided no more Scoring, and it freed me up.
I keep track now and one day I'll work on a Handicap, but not yet.
I didn't for a while, and enjoyed it. then, was looking to get a handicap and kept score for a bunch, but, never got around to doing the paperwork for the cap. Now, since my desire to play is really diminished since a few months ago, I'm not going to keep score again. Might play from the forward tees as well. Who knows? Lately, to be frank, it's been total ambivalence about playing at all. Probably just a phase that will pass when there is more sunshine.Any seniors stop keeping score?

Congrats on the -10 and good luck with the other 5! I’ve been through multiple ortho surgeries and have learned that stretching every day and staying relatively fit are big contributors. Even light lifting and resistance band work helped me regain distance that I had lost to shoulder surgery.Having hit the 60 mark, I decided to lose a few pounds and ramp up the fitness. So far I'm down about 10 pounds from the holiday season eating fiasco. My goal is to lose 5 more pounds which will put me at a lean fighting weight that I haven't seen for many years. I don't know if any of this will translate to golf, but I feel good.
