69 off 5.

He was off 3 last year at one point but he played in alot of Senior county/national opens so got a few .1's back.

He is looking to come back down again and is playing some good golf.

Used to be a guy at my old club who was off 5 and 67 years old.Strange thing is,i'd have said his true handicap should have been nearer 2 or 3.
He didn't hit the ball very far,but was alnmost always hitting his second shot from the fairway,and was very tidy from 100 yards in.

 

[beggsy]

there is 2 from ours both in there late 60s playing off 6 an 8

 

[upsidedown]

A mere whipper snapper at 52 for me and 2 others in their 60's

No elderly Cat 1s at my club but our oldest player was 90 in February this year. He plays a full round in comps twice a week and has had handicap cuts twice since his birthday.

 

[Losttheplot]

Probably you actually Bob. I think there might be one CAT 1 golfer aty
Club but since I never met him it's got to be you!

I played an open at my home course several years ago, we were meant to be out as a 3 ball, but some older chap was looking a game, was 73, we happy to have him join us so we had a fourball, he played off 3. nudged it 200 tops off the tee, didnt miss a fairway, and pretty much 1 putted everything. I played off 17 at the time, and it was great to see quality golf, especially round the greens.

A friend of mine retired at 56 and his handicap was 6, within a couple of years he had got down to 4 using a bag full of hybrids. He used to play 6 times a week and his longest iron was his 7 iron.

I also know a couple of guys in their late forties who are plus handicap golfers.

Thanks Dave, 59 in a couple of weeks and I can still show one or two of the young whippersnappers a thing or two. Two rounds last sunday, in that heat, nae bother.
