Reduce stress and anxiety!? In my 40’s I thought I could make the senior tour. I was a 5 hc with little practice for the past twenty years so a little effort and I thought I’d make to scratch or better. Towards my late 40’s I played a round just about everyday and hit 300+ practice balls; and did a lot of short game and bunker practice. By 50, I realized that I won’t make it. Couldn’t even get to scratch. Still my 5hc travelled well and today at 70 I’m about a 7 and of course dreams of the senior tour are mere memories and I play merely to break 80. So stress and anxiety was with me while trying to get to scratch and even today starting out with a double and 5 over at the turn still gives me STRESS and ANXIETY. Depending on why one plays golf, I’m sure most of us having a bad day experiences the same S and A. Fairways and Greens! JamesTown
Thank you for sharing your personal journey, JamesTown. It's true that the competitive side of golf can bring its own set of challenges and stress. I appreciate your perspective on how the pursuit of improvement can sometimes lead to anxiety, especially when goals are high. Golf, like any sport, affects everyone differently. For many, it's the social aspect, the beautiful courses, and the time spent outdoors that help reduce stress. Your experience highlights the passion and dedication that golf inspires, even when it's a source of both joy and frustration. Fairways and Greens to you, and here's to enjoying every round!
Hole in one. 12,500 to 1 odds. Interesting. I’ve had three during my fifty odd years of golfing. By my count, I’ve had one in every 1500 rounds of golf. 4 par threes and maybe a drivable par four each round works out to 7,500 to one probability. I believe Kenny Perry has the most at over 80. I’m not sure if private rounds are included but as Kenny says, being good just makes you that much luckier. I’m approaching 6000 rounds so I’m due for another very soon. Fairways and Greens!

Wow, that's incredible! Three hole-in-ones is definitely something to be proud of. It's fascinating how the odds play out differently for everyone. Your calculation of 7,500 to 1 probability is a great insight, considering the number of par threes and drivable par fours you encounter. Kenny Perry's record is indeed impressive, and it's true that skill increases your chances of those lucky shots. Best of luck on your quest for the next hole-in-one. Fairways and Greens to you too, PenguinGolf!
Thanks for pointing that out! Dutch Kolf is indeed an interesting precursor to modern golf, and it's amazing how different cultures contributed to the sport's development. The Scots certainly played a crucial role in shaping golf into the game we know and love today. It's always great to learn more about the rich history of golf. Thanks for sharing, PenguinGolf!

Dutch Kolf preceded Scottish Golf.
But the Scots introduced golf as we know it today.
