Default Playing Golf as We Age

As we get older we can adapt to our lessening ablilities. Older golfers can use lower compression balls. Older golfers can get senior flex shafts, a wise teaching pro said to me "your swing is not going to get faster as you age." Older golfers can move to forward tees as the distance they hit shortens (not doing this is a major contributor to slow play), play the tees that fit your ability and/or age level. We can still play satisfying golf if we put aside our egos and do the things that help a senior golfer succeed.
