Jeff,

You know what the irony of that statement is? Sure enough Yodasluke will be the one in his group that develops age related physical problem.. arthritis something ... he will be striken. He acts all high and mighty now, while he's barely into middle age but you watch... when life dishes out some of its lessons to him (and its surely will with such a self-righteous attitude... karma) he'll be screaming excuses at the top of his lungs to some young know-it-all punk telling him to get to the gym and quit making excuses .

Anyway Jeff, you're doing fine given your age and late taking up of the sport. Congrats..

One thing that you obviously do not about Ted is that I can honestly say he has NEVER made an excuse for anything that has to do with golf. I got to know him in 2003 and have watched his game progress dramatically since then. Like myself, I believe Ted has taken Homer's work and used it for his benefit. Lynn has been an integral part of his development and Ted is always looking for a better way to do anything. Ted is playing better than he ever has but when he plays good he rarely brags, and when he plays bad he NEVER makes excuses.

Ted will also never tell you that he ran track in college and did not start the game until his senior year. I did not even know Ted and we went to the same school and ate at the same Athletic facility. So since we both left college I would say that he has done quite well for himself as a teacher and a player, especially since I only had almost 20 years experience on him.

I think Ted would agree that he is no where close to the Physical shape he was in during his college years. Yet because he knows a more efficient way of swinging (or in Ted's case hitting) a golf ball, he has gotten longer with age and with less "physical abilities".

Ted and Lynn are both far to nice to ever tell someone exactly how they feel. You really have to push Ted's buttons to get him riled up. I think you may be close to doing just that. So let me save you some time and effort by telling you to back off and stay on task. I have read this thread and feel that Jeff and yourself derive much pleasure from arguing worthless points. There is probably a reason why Jeff is not allowed to post on any other area of this site, or any other site for that matter. This site is for all golfers to learn about how to play better golf, not to allow Jeff to ask bizarre questions and then argue the answers given. I suggest you and Jeff get together and create your own site and stay off this one. I for one would enjoy being a part of it more.
