Lol! It does do a bit of damage to one’s ego. My golf game has improved since we moved here but I feel MUCH better comparing my game to that of my wife than to that of some of the youngsters I’ve seen. 200 yards out of my driver with anything remotely resembling accuracy represents a good day.
We attended the LPGA championship tournament (at least I think it was called that) in Chaska, MN a few years back. I recall these young Asian women about 5’ 10” tall and a BMI of probably zero nonchalantly walking up to the tee while conversing with other players, bystanders, etc. and then casually whacking the ball out over the horizon. It pointed out better than just about anything else the vast difference between a real golfer and your run-of-the-mill sod-chopper. Beyond impressive.
