Now that I am older, shooting my age should be easier. 10 years ago, I assumed it would be easier as I aged. Wrong. My body no longer obeys. Anyway, shot a 73 at my club, PCC. First time.

73. . not bad. How'd the back 9 go?

I've only parred one course in my life after playing/practicing religiously for about 30 years. My best handicap was 8. I was able to get good at golf but never really good or great, and it frustrated the hell out of me.

I consider my best round ever to be an 84. Sounds kind of shitty, but it was at Pebble Beach from the pro tees.

I haven't played much since, since I fubared my ankle, but I'm hoping to get out this year and try to get back into it.

Congrats BTW, that's a great round! Good enough to keep you coming back, right? Golf has a way of teasing you like that.

Nice round, congrats! My dad did it twice.

He only skipped the hole with the windmill on the back nine.



Just kidding that’s very impressive.

Congratulations.

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

I doubt I will ever live long enough to do that.

Good for you, Sir. Im hoping I can say that by the time I reach 106 in 34 more years.

Congratulations!!! I hope to be able to do that some day. I shot an 89 today, and I ain't that old, so I have a ways to go.

I shot my age once.

In dog years.

The course Pro said he never believed a person could be so utterly inept at hitting a golf ball as to have the tee shot from the fifth hole hit a tree, land on the green for the fourth, and roll straight into the water hazard on the third.

That is a great achievement.

Shoot my age again today? What's the over & under for that!!

Congratulations! That is quite an achievement.

I did that once.

Next, I'll try for the second hole.

Damn, 73 at 73 is a hell of an achievement, especially for us amateurs. 74 is my best round and I am 48. Congrats.

That’s great! Most of my golf shots are ND’s.

Nice!!
If you can't hit it straight, at least hit it hard!!

That is seriously good golf with real bragging rights!

I'll never shoot my age, unless I pay a surrogate or play like Bill Clinton. Anything under 80 is pure talent and hard work.
