Starlite sidewinder for the win!
I kind of hate the argument that us fellow old farts use saying "there were less overstable sidearm friendly molds back in my day" as a reason for not learning the sidearm.
Even though I'm 58 I've only been playing for a little over 3 years. I don't know what it was like "back in the day".
I do know that in tournaments it's almost always more fun playing in an age protected division than with younger guys. The young guys get so mad and gumpy when something goes wrong and they stay that way for a while. In the old guy divisions we'll more than likely laugh and poke fun at each other. We might cuss for 10 seconds about out lack of concentration but we get over it. It makes the weekend more enjoyable playing 3 long rounds in 2 days when the group is fun. Hell, even one round at a weekly tag match there are people I don't want on my card because they're just not fun to be around when we play.

I'm an newly 40yo fart and have a complaint about us older than 40 crowd:
Yo old guy: just because you can't throw a sidearm more than 199ft doesn't mean you have to expound that throwing a riskier backhand turnover is a better shot. moreover why is your backhand turnover garbage a better shot than a sidearm turnover?!
I say to your OLD MAN "GET OF MY LAWN" LOGIC, "you get of MY LAWN".
I get this a ton because I'm left handed over 40yo and play with a great group of even older gentlemen. When they are throwing their old man 145g starlite terns with Right handed backhand hyzers 300ft and its my turn to throw I'll inevitably get the "you should throw a backhand turnover here" and I scoff and sidearm a left hand hyzer with a fairway driver just as well.
i started playing dg at 37yo and was lucky enough not to be so dependent on what i started throwing (left hand backhand) and slowly learned how sidearm to the point where I can sidearm pretty much as confidently as my backhand. it took a year and a half (to learn proper form) but it got there. turnover putter flick (i can do it!), hyzer putter flick (yup!), 350 distance driver flex (hells yeah), sidearm midrange hyzer approach from 200 (yeah baby).
don't be afraid to learn new things fellow older people! this year I'm learning how to do overhead shots (tomahawks and thumbers). maybe I'll learn how to do distance rollers too.

How about people that don't realize being politically correct simply means using language that is not offensive? My parents taught me this way back in the 70's. They just called it being polite.
I am all for being polite. My parents called it "the way". As in there is a right way and wrong way to do everything...
What I meant in my statement was people that prioritize political correctness over logic and/or look for ways to demonize an otherwise ambiguous statement, much like your reply...:doh:
a NY construction company has rolled out gender-neutral "Men and Women at Work" signs. Plaza Construction began replacing archaic "Men at Work" signs at the entrances to their job sites as part of a "female-friendly initiative" that "encourages women to enter the industry by creating a gender-neutral workplace environment," CEO Richard Wood told The Post.
For me it's the laziness of the forehand crowd. They refuse to learn how to throw back hand and rely on crazy overstable discs to hide their terrible form. They insist on some glideless dumpy forehand when it's clear a backhand turnover is the right way to attack the hole.
If you can't see the gaping hole between "language that is not offensive" and people getting offended, you have much bigger problems than anything we're discussing...
Just because I'm on lunch and bored, I'll give you a perfect example:
There is so much stupid in this article that I don't even know where to start...
Archaic Signs: If you are such a delicate snowflake that you've never considered a career in the construction industry because the signs only indicate "men" working, then I'm not really sure you can handle a career in construction...
High Level Thinking: The whole point of the signs is to raise awareness in work zones for safety. If this world were grounded in logic, the new signs would shorten the text or use infographics to illustrate "People at Work" or "Workers Present".
Unfortunately, we live in a politically correct world where people are looking for any reason to be offended. So, as a society, we'll spend time on sh!t like this instead of dealing with real problems like our education system, welfare reform, crime, education, etc., etc., etc.
