Can You Shoot Your Age?

[Dave3498]

It's my birthday tomorrow and with the help of my 14.9 handicap, I'm hoping to shoot my (nett) age of 73. I've done it many times before of course and I'm still hoping that I can one day do it in gross. Can you shoot your age - gross?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I can for the front nine (42)

42? some bloody chance!!!! I have done it in points but 42 gross over 18 holes would be one hell of a score. Maybe for 9 holes, would that count?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I did shoot 40 points a couple of years ago and was cut accordingly (my age at the time). At the moment I'd take 42 on either 9

88 is not a bad score for an 88 year-old golfer! Happy birthday, Dave. Seriously, it has been done lots of times by good players in their early 70s. Gary Player has probably shot his age more times than you and I have walked off a course happy.

I'm only 55 and even with H/c 10 still only gives me a 65.thats 7 under par at my track, so to answer your question erm No......ha ha but i won't give up tryin'

I shot my age (32)gross front nine last month, you couldnt have punched the smile of my face.

I'm 17 so it might be tricky, but i'll give it ago . Do points count? .

15 is also a bit hard lol

I've beaten my age on both halves of our little course and The burnside a few times, (I'm 36) but the closest I've got on The Championship is 40. I should be able to do it in a year or two.
As for 18 holes, forget it.

 

[TonyN]

24? Maybe. For 7 holes

Dave, many happy returns when your birthday arrives. I had 38 points last year when I was 38.

 

[Dave3498]

I can see that you are all trying. I will have to wait until I'm about 97 I think.

 

[nomadpaul]

I'm 41 and the only way it'll happen is if i was to calculate my age as a dog !!!

 

[CarpeDiem]

Played in the Texas Scramble today, we had a gross 59. So if any of you are 59, it can be done . That was the winning score but only by one shot!!!

I'm 41 and the only way it'll happen is if i was to calculate my age as a dog !!!

41 x 7 = 287. Maybe I should play 54 in one day and see how close I can get....might need a few disasters though!

Over 9 holes I've shot my age (43) well infact I've shot 42's on par 68's & 72's before now. Though stand more chances of shooting age over a half a course after May.
