40 last December. Mentally I still feel 25 and I feel physically fit but injuries are now impossible to get rid of. For some reason I get an age in your head for people and I'm surprised at some of ages on here. I will be telling the wife though because I think she thinks I'm to old to be playing video games and taking part in an on-line community. Showed the wife this poll as well. Seems like the median age is around late 30s or 40. I've always been average at everything so it comes as no surprise to me!

I will be telling the wife though because I think she thinks I'm to old to be playing video games and taking part in an on-line community. I thought you were about 25 don't know if that is a complement or not ! I'm 29 have the knees & ankles of a pensioner and the temper of a drunk teenager when playing TGC. My Wife's the same BTW. With her "its only a game" lark they just don't understand Normally it would be a compliment but as you're not looking at me and are only guessing on what I type it isn't. It just goes to show my grammer and spelling are poor for my age. I'm good at maths mind. Well apart from when I've got to work out which club to use with a side/head wind at 15 MPH and an elevation of -23 yards. I have the knees and also the temper and yes, they just don't have a clue. Somehow they think watching Australias Biggest Losers is more of a grown up thing to do. PS. You're 25 and married. What happened there?

Yeah, and you youngsters have no idea what is coming for you. I used to be really active with sports. When my official career in baseball ended I turned to softball. About 5 years ago (I'm 40 now) I drove to our game and as I got out of the car I pulled a muscle in my leg. Let me repeat that - I didn't get hurt in the game...I got hurt getting out of the car arriving to the game. I sat there a minute, sent a text to the coach, and drove home. And I pulled my hammy so bad I didn't play for the rest of the season. That is just sad.

Was making a fire on a cold day 2 weeks ago and threw out my back placing a small piece of wood into fireplace. I started playing football at age 7 and stopped at 21. I hurt all over but would not trade the memories for anything. Keep moving or else the body will quit.

33 and interesting topic
I thought the 30s would be in the majority but looks like the average could be a little older judging by the votes. TGC is mostly a decision making / judgement game so I can see why it would appeal to mature minds. Mind you once you're old and your back goes it's video game golf or nothing I guess lol
