Actually I should say I used to be able to when I was your age. I'm a big strong guy, but that doesn't have much to do with it IMO. I always hit em farther, and straighter at the end of the bucket of balls when I was too tired to try and kill it.
My mom, and her side of the family shoot a mean game. Mom shoots low 80's, and has come close to winning the RI Open a few times. Her brother who lives is Cali shoots scratch all day long. He came here on vacation, and played a course (not an easy one either)that he hasn't been on since he was a kid, and shot a 71. His son who is a caddy at Pebble Beach (makes killer loot) shoots a mean game. He supported himself all through college by caddying, and betting on the golf course. He's a shark.
His sister is the real gem of the family. She's 17, and breaking under par just about every round. She's going to college on a golf scholarship, and has every intention of being on the LPGA tour. Her dad always kids her about not turning into a lesbian.
Golf is more fun for me to watch now. I saw Jack Nickalus, and his son play together in RI at a small charity event last summer. I'll have to scan in the pictures I got of him after he practiced. I was two feet from the guy. Got some decent shots considering I had a cheap camera.
I've been to a lot of pro golf events. LPGA open in Salem Mass. when I was a teenager, and a ton of regular tour events. I used to have all kinds of autographs too, but managed to lose em over the years. I highly recommend going to one, anyone. They are a lot of fun, there's always free stuff from corporations, and they usually sell a good hot dog.
They had a circus size tent at the open, that was all tables set up giving stuff away. I had bags of free junk.
Check it out sometime. You'll enjoy it.
