So, you can’t categorize golf as an old men’s game because there are more and more strong youngsters picking up this game; and they are as good as the older men, both physically and mentally.
Golf needs the players to be fit because the players are going to be walking the golf course for more than 4 hours! Players would need to endure the walk to maintain their playing performance. That’s why youngsters who have more stamina than older men have an advantage to the youngsters. The flexibility of the younger players also is an advantage over the older men. With a flexible body, the player is able to do a more dynamic swing compared to a stiff body. Of course, youngsters have a more flexible body which give them the upper hand.

Young players are able to visualize shots easier than older men because older men think logically which blocks their imagination.
