Just played my fourth round of season after half dozen range sessions. Outside of the usual “early” season f ups, my yardage is way down. Two clubs on irons and 30-40 off the tee. These are on my pure shots. Nice contact, ball flight etc. it’s a marked difference from even my few rounds last year. I’m not in perfect shape but, spent most of may and June in the yard doing various projects, losing a few lbs and gaining strength. I’m now a mid fifties guy. I know I’m not going to keep up to the youngins but, crap I’m not ready to go whites yet!

At what age did you start losing….yardage??

What I've lost in length, I've gained in girth.
But seriously, I started golf late (age 40) and it seemed to get better until about 50 or so. 55 was still okay but now at 66 I'm down a full club or more and still choosing the old ones.
I think it's worth trying to find some good speed drills, but haven't done so yet.

I got seriously into golf when I was 40, I am now 55. I’d say I lost about 20+ yards off the Driver and a full club off the irons since about 48-50. However I am a much better golfer now than I was 5-7 years ago.🍍 2023 WITB 🍍
