DonM One of my good friends here shot his age a few weeks ago, 71.

.....and another missed it by 1 stroke. 😉😎

    The closest I've come was a 73 when I was 65. I'm 69 now, and my average score is around 81-82, so I've got a few years before I get a good shot at shooting my age.

    5 days later

    The oldest guy in our MWF money group will be 90 in 4 days. Today he shot 79!!!! From the red tees (4950 yards) but so what. He walks like half his joints don't work. His swing is functional but his drives only go about 140. I wish I could have seen how he did it. He's still a pretty good putter and he knows every break on our greens.

      Like I do it. Tee shot goes 150 to 175 down the middle. Approach shots is near the green (sometimes on), chip close, make par or bogey. Move on. No big mistakes. On the good days, I make more pars, hardly any birdies, no doubles. 79 or better quite often. Boring, nothing flashy or long.

          Typhoon I’m sure more than a few guys here are looking at that photo and thinking,
          Had it
          Had it
          Had it had it had it had it had it
          Still have it
          Had it had it had it ….

            Those 3 on the top left look interesting. 🙃🏌

              I just looked up our guy on GHIN. He’s shot better than his age 14 out of his last 20. So the key is to still be playing in your late eighties and be good at chipping and putting.

                DonM Keeping in shape and keeping on his game is key. I always thought of keeping in shape I’d be able to outlast a lot of guys and compete in LD Super senior divisions. That was my thinking back when there were qualifiers🙄

                    i don't have any trouble shooting my age ----- It's acting my age that gives me issues. 😜
