I count myself among the fortunate to spend a round with Bob at MPCC in 2007 (or 08?), and I consider my loss at Wolf to Bob as one of the great GCA rites of passage, and a true badge of honor.
Bob,
I wholeheartedly agree with Brad's comments above, and apparently my Wolf loss occurred around the same time!
If you truly intend to cease your golf course endeavors, I'd encourage you to consider one thing. From my own experience, playing over 200 tournaments prior to my high school graduation, I knew that I never wanted to play in another. My last effort came in some state qualifier and I shot the worst competitive score of my life. I was so ashamed/disgusted that I asked my playing competitor to turn the card in for me and I was out of the parking lot before it was posted, never to return. But I couldn't end it that way, so a few years later I entered a PGA playing test where you have to shoot a certain score over 36 holes to pass. I planned and practiced, and after a long day I parred the last two holes (including a terrifying downhill slider on the 35th) to pass on the number. I walked away that day knowing I never needed to play another competitive round, and 10+ years later I've never been tempted.
Point being--find a way to finish on your own terms. Play your favorite hole (or two or three!) at MPCC or CPC or wherever your heart calls you. Give yourself a chance to celebrate all those wonderful moments that you've shared with this great game. And if it is time, walk away with a smile!
Cheers!
