Jay, that was exactly me. I got a big boy golf bag because I could stash more beer in it.
And everything had a place to carry beer. Now I carry vitamin water and filtered water.
It takes time to get over it. I struggled the first few months because I never did anything without a beer. I would drink four or five before a basketball game. And the old softball days - one an inning it seemed. Now, no problem. Hang in there and stick with it. It's worth it.
