Shooting your age

[rosecott]

In a Monthly Medal today I had a barely believable front 9 in 37 blows. Of course the back 9 was back to normal. It was only afterwards that I realised that if (a very big if) I had carried on at that level I would easily have shot my age. I didn't, as readers would have expected, and failed by 6 shots. I'm sure there will be forummers who have achieved it but who are they?

Don't think I'll live long enough. If I do I'll be too busy having my incontinence aids changed.

I've shot my age for the front 9. Hope I live to do it over 18 holes but not confident!

 

[GreiginFife]

I would have to stop at the turn 😁.
37 is all the shots I have.

My dad once shot a 73 at Pyrford when he was 71yrs old .................... not bad for the old bugger but he was annoyed.

Did it today playing a match at Tandridge.

Oh. Hang on. That was nett. I assume you are talking about gross

Whilst well into senior golf status now I am but a boy when compared to shooting ones age, I very much doubt I will ever do it. I have played a few times with a chap now in his mid-seventies who is not happy if he doesn't shoot his age or better, he has however been a 3 handicap or better for over 50 years, still off 2 last time I played with him.

I assume you lost the match????

Does our 6 hole practice course count?

 

[FairwayDodger]

Only on a nine hole course..... but it's certainly a target to aim for in 25-30 years if I'm still around!

You failed by 6 shots?..... so you shot 37 on the front 9 and 70 on the back???

:rofl:

Nice front 9, just goes to show even old gits can blind a squirrel with an acorn... or something like that

4BBB inter club friendly. Better ball for my partner and myself was 45 points. We lost All square going down the last (14th index 1 - we started on 15th) and high h/capper opponent stiffed his 3rd to the green within 6". My 12 ft putt for par missed

There was only one hole in the whole match that was won with a bogie. All others were par or better.

One of the best and closest matches I've ever had. :thup:

Played this morning and back to normal
