Shoot Your Age Thread-Tell Us All About It

[THE GOLF GUY]

I am 63 but have not shot a 63 yet , but i did have a 31 on one side just 3 weeks ago , possible by a long eagle putt on a par 5 and the short par 4 hole afterwards that is  315 yards , drove the green and and had a 8 footer for eagle but missed and had the kick in birdie ,all I can do is keep trying ! My best round ever was a 68 at Arrowhead Pointe in Elberton, Georgia.

Yes it’s one of my favorite road trips

I’m 68 

Today missed a 15 footer to shoot my age. Third time I’ve come to 18 with a putt for my age.

I shoot my age for 9 holes all the time. (38) Does this count? HAHAHA

According to Lou Stagner (Arccos statistics guy), I hit the ball 40 yards shorter than the average distance for my handicap.   A little downwind and hard fairway, I can get to 235 ... maybe.  Average is probably 205.

5.1 Index.  71 years old.   Managed to scrape out a 71 (-1) today from the Blue Tees at 6200 yards.  Differential of 0.7

Birdied 17 & 18 on Friday to shoot 72 at the same course, so I knew I was getting close.

Quite a round, congrats on shooting your age!

Honestly though, I’m drooling over the 100% fairways hit!

It's way easier to hit fairways, when you're only driving it 210-220.  I've average about 73% fairways hit, over the last 10 years according to GolfShot.  I should have learned to swing harder, I can afford to miss a few fairways.

I’m around 40% average right now and 250-270 distance…some of my misses are in trees, makes for a challenging round.

When you get old and move to The Villages, 40% goes to 75% with the width of the fairways.  You'll be all set!

Got a few years before I can get down there, and that’s if the wife agrees to it!
