I play real golf use to get at least 9 holes in the evening and 2 18 hole rounds on the weekend now due to a bad back once or twice a month is all I can manage. I had a 3 handicap but now sitting about a 10.

I went for 15 rounds of 9 hole golf this year. "real" golf if you call a sand green course with trees and tall grass as the "hazzards" its real life but not exactly "real golf"

Couple times per week. Relaxation

I'm good for a round of 78 to 80 on 18 holes. Shot Par on a couple easy courses. But, most can on those.

Same problem. I just found other golf partners. Don't mind a beer now and then, but I enjoy playing golf more than seeing how many beers I can squeeze in 18 holes.

I play as often as I can,(not often enough) but only been playing for 3 yrs(had to take last yr off for leg surg.) so I havent gotten better than +25 yet. Although when I play consecutive weekend, I do much better....( and have never seen a grid on the green, swing meter, or power shot option)

Play in a regular league and over the past several years I carry anywhere from a 12-16.

In other words if I DONT break 90 im pissed and if I DO break 80 im pretty happy.

Playing less this year with the economy tanking, but still try to play when I can.

I've enjoyed the game for about 20 years now. * im old.

Hey Crusty56, I'm 62 and love golf so much I retired early to become greenskeeper at a VA golf course. I live in Oregon and winter keeps me busy with all the geese migrating south. To the TW dev team, do NOT include geese in this sim! I play 2-3 times a week and carry a 7 handicap. I get to associate with vets from WWII on up to Iraq/Afghanistan. Personally I'm a Vietnam vet. The youngsters coming back are mostly handicapped with some loss of limbs. I would recommend that all "old" people get involved with volunteering because it makes up for shooting a bad round in gratification. I'm even letting those that are too handicapped to play "real" golf know about TWO coming out in the future. At least they will be able to play golf anytime they want. Keep up the good work dev team, it is appreciated by more people than you know!


Golf is like marriage...to love,honor and obey. For richer or poorer,in sickness and in health, TILL DEATH DO US PART!

Started almost 30 years ago. Lowest my handicap has been was 7-8 years ago when I was playing off a 7, playing 2-3 times a week and was cosistently in the mid to low 80s with a few rounds in the 70s (career best was a level par 72 once!).

Only played 15 times this year, due to shorter playing season and surgery in April and my current USGA index is 13.2. But I enjoy the game more now than when I was playing off the 7. Guess I finally figured out I was only going to get so good, had a little success, now just happy to get out and enjoy good company and nature.
