Have you beaten your age?

[TomC]

Hello guys, I hope you are well and enjoying some good golf.

I'm posting because we are on the look-out for golfers who have beaten their age...
It is an incredible achievement and one we think deserves some acknowledgement in the pages of the magazine.

If you or anyone you know has broken their age and would be interested in featuring in Golf Monthly, please send an email with some details (name, age, home club and contact details (if you have them)) to golfmonthly@timeinc.com.

I'm 48, so no chance of that, unless you mean just on the front 9. Even with my current 21 HC I'd have to shoot a 68, I've got more chance of being thin, handsome and winning the lottery.

I'm 30 so can't even say I've done nine holes under my age. Think I got 30 stableford points once. :lol:

A guy at my club has. He's also played Augusta!

Nearest I got before I stopped playing was a 73 {+1} aged 62.
That was on one of my very rare 'good days'.

I have a retired Pro friend who plays off 1 at his club.
He is the same age as me so I would imagine he does it on a regular basis.

A chap did this at my Dad's club (Buckingham GC) in the last few weeks, he is in this late 80's and went round in 85 IIRC - winning the comp with 47 points. What made this interesting was it was in the annual 3 clubs and putter comp.

Have a guy in our club. Plays off 6 and is about 75-80 years of age.

Only in mid April there he shot a 73 won the gross prize (course a par 70)

Remarkable man, something telling me he's 80 this December.

Edit: that the kind of guy yous are looking for?

 

[williamalex1]

I scored 80 gross today, it's pity i'm only 71

 

[patricks148]

would look at Jimmy Miller from Brora/Golspie must have shot lower than his age a loads of times, well into his late 70 and still off scratch

 

[Capella]

Well, I can shoot under my age in Stableford points ... does that count?

 

[delc]

Yes, but only for 9 holes! Our best Senior, who plays off a handicap of 3, equalled our course record of 65 at the age of 68 a couple of years ago. 😀

 

[williamalex1]

I played with a guy called Will Smith [ easy to remember] about 10 years ago.
He was a member at both Gleneagles and Harburn, age 72 scored gross 72 off 4 at the Eastermoffat seniors open.
Lovely man, after our game at EM he gave me 2 egg boxes containing 12 slightly used Pro V1s, he collects them while walking his dog around Gleneagles in the evenings .

 

[HawkeyeMS]

I'm 42 next week, so no, no-one has. It is getting easier to do over 9 holes though

 

[pokerjoke]

My dad has done it quite a few times and he will continue to do it a few more times yet I'm sure.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Belle Robertson would take some beating, I think she is into her 80's now and still playing low single figure.

[Shooter McPowick]

Haha! Way too young for this! Age 39 but did the front 9 in 37. Last week did it in 35 age 40

 

[Oxfordcomma]

One of our members who I think is now 75 does this several times a year in qualifiers, lord knows how many times he does it in friendly knocks. Still playing off 1 and according to our website has won the club championship in 5 different decades.

 

[Tommo21]

I'm in my 65th year and I shot 65 scratch last October. That was in competition although it wasn't the longest course on earth.

 

[lukeysafc100]

I've shot 26 stableford points - so I've beaten by age there haha!
I'll repost in 50 years and see if it happens

 

[TomC]

yeah, have you got details for him, or can you let him know?
