Struggling against beginner players

I've been playing 10 hours a week for the last 4 months and I typically can maintain a decent pace of play. I was playing in an open at a local club and they mixed the 3.0-3.5 with 2.5 beginner players. They play erratic and hit very high balls that I am always hitting out or into the net. Am I the only one that plays better with faster pace and lower balls? It is driving me nuts, so any advice would help.

Some background, I'm 56 and very active with a total testosterone of 561 mg/dL and free of 12.9 pg/mL (direct measure by Labcorp), SHBG 37.5 nmol/L, estrogen 113 pg/mL. These are the only results I have for my hormone levels and I started TRT at a local clinic based on these results 3.5 weeks ago. I want to stop and wait until I make some lifestyle and diet changes, and have at least a few more blood tests. Prior to the blood test, I spent the winter on a bourbon kick, put on about 10 pounds, and was not doing much cardio. My diet was also not ideal. I am hoping to improve my numbers a bit and maybe defer TRT until I fall below 450 mg/dl total later in life. I plan on stopping cold turkey since it's only been 3.5 weeks at 100 mg per week with Gonadorelin 3X per week. Has anyone stopped after such a short period of time and have you experienced any issues. The doctor said just stop but thinking maybe to continue to Gonadorelin for a few weeks to make sure natural production is supported.
