I'm thankful that my golf is improving. I only took up the game when I retired at 58.
In my thirties and forties, I played squash for a team in the North West Counties Leagues. My kids banned me from going back to the game when I gave up work. They said "Buy some golf clubs" and so I did.
We have weekly golf competitions at my club and I'd not won anything for two years. But in the last four weeks, I've had two consecutive second places, in Stableford competitions, (same scores as the winners), but they had better back nines than I, (it's the way it works).
Last week it was "Medal" (every shot counts) and I won by four shots!
I confess I'm only in the third division, but my gross score was as good as the winners in the division above me.
I've now a total of £85 prize money credit in the pro shop. Not that there's anything I need at the moment.
I guess I'm lucky to be still playing, as I'm 84 at the end of the month.
