I usually need at least two months after throwing one to forget how much I don't want to throw one before I try again.This is exactly where I live. I get one and it hurts. The goal each round is to not use my forehand at all.

At 55, I know I've got one forehand shot per round. You have to play a mental game knowing that the flick is there, but if you take it the right side of your body is going to hate you for the next 15 minutes minimum and if you need to scramble later you are SOL. I took the flick on a tee shot today, needed to scramble on the next hole and had nothing. It is what it is.
See it gets sadder and more depressing with each post.
I hit my highest rating, 957, last year at 57. My previous best was 949 in '02 and again in'17. Not all is doom and gloom.
For any youngsters reading this thread, my advice is find a way to add anti-oxidants to your diet. I think drinking a gallon of tea a day for 40 years has really helped me.
I would advise everyone to simply drink more water.
Although 2 to 4 beers does loosen me up, and I can throw better, I pay dearly for it the next day. I miss the extra 100 feet of distance on my backhands. Just three or four years ago, I could sling it out to about 350. Now... 250 is about it. I've never had a forehand over 250, but it hurts to throw it over 200. I'm 61 and can testify that it sucks for your game to hit the 60+ age bracket. You can see it in the scores in tournaments. I don't know any 60+ guys that will play in a two-day event.While I'm sure this is legitimately good advice, I've found the general lack of alcohol in the water does little to help my game.

Not sure what's wrong with y'all. I'm 60 and can throw FH all day. Only good for a few thumbers a day though. Got an old MCL injury that's probably gonna need some attention before too long.
Don't wanna talk about changes to my digestive system....
