One summer I got out regularly to a driving range, and saw no improvement. And with the stiffness and infirmity of a ~70 yo body, my swing is terrible, and not getting better.

Your post characterizes 90% of golfers in TV as less than good. Hence, the average golfer must be poor.

I never played till I moved here because when I worked I never had time. In high school it was out of the question because to get onto the school golf team your parents were either doctors, lawyers, dentist or one of the school teachers. Others always failed tryouts because they couldn't afford good quality clubs. Of course those weren't the kids that played the other sports.
