I have been accused of being old in another thread, but I van tell ya now my real golf game is better than it was xxs years ago, I also improved after losing my eye, at billiards, snooker and darts as well.

So does my reaction time diminish with age, I guess so, but I was pretty quick to start with, I have boxer's hands, small, powerful and quick, just like Bruce. my hero.

No doubt. On the other hand, you are as old as you want to be. So apart from becoming somewhat forgetfull we will give the (really) young ones hell...

oh dear.....

It is not only your reaction time that diminishes with age John.Also vision and depth perception diminish. And in you case with just 1 eye that could really affect your play.

But what age are we talking about? Until 60 or so my reflexes were about what they always had been. But in the past 7 years they have slowed down much more.
