Gracie, my golfing experience over the years is very similar to yours. At one time I was very competitive, but physical issues over the last 10 years (along with age) has my game down to "bogey golf"---on the Championship Courses. But I enjoy it and I'm just happy that I can still play. I play championship courses about once and occasionaly twice a week. I think the prices are reasonable compared to the last couple of Private Clubs that we belonged. My best friend starting playing golf just a couple years before we retired. She is really quite good on the executive courses and enjoys playing with me. It's really nice for husband and wife to play golf together. She did the right thing and got several lessons. I really recommend lessons for all new golfers. I wish that I had started that way. FORE!
