My husband also is diagnosed with MCI. And also golfs (age 72). I am so happy he leaves the house and that there is something he likes. He only golfs 9 holes. Not long enough!! My husband repeats questions and comments all day. And forgets instructions if I try to get him to help. Today I am getting him to help put a frame together. Finding things we can share surety limited. Eating, walking, watching streaming services. He was diagnosed through the MOCA test. And is 19 out of 30 so not far off Moderate cognitive impairment. Sorry I have nothing helpful to say re your husbands total recall of every shot played. I only wish mine played more and had more engagement with life outside the house.

My husband was a 24 on the MOCA test. He has never done well on verbal and written tests specially in the doctor's office. Mine plays 18 holes and luckily walks. It gets him to socialize and out of the house. He is starting infusions in Sept. We are hoping they will help.
Luckily he is still driving himself and has not gotten lost. I can relate to feeling like he is on top of me every time I turn around. I hope that you can get some time for yourself and have people you can talk to.
Never in a million years did I see our future so glum at our age(74 and 72).
Try to stay positive! Thanks for responding.
