Being 68 years young, I have no idea. Some day it will happen.

Came close after my 68th birthday. Three days after that special day I shot a 69. My brain got in the way and double bogied the last hole. As I look forward to another milestone next year, will turn 80, there just might be hope for me in the next decade. In the meantime, hakuna matata.

Probably not. And if you haven’t by age 70, a HIO is more likely after that age. Not a great number of low single digit handicap players in that age group.

I don't know about a Registry, might be a cool thing for Titleist to log, like the hole in one recognition. In 50 years of playing I have never had a hole in one, but if I ever shoot my age, I will be buying the drinks and then some. Just hoping the game and my health hold out for another few years.

I always shoot my age. Problem is, I keep playing until I finish my round. :) At least it’s finally on the back nine.

Meh. My new goal is to keep my driver head speed higher than my age….

I don't think it's all that rare, especially as you age. Several of the men in the senior league (ages 60 and above) I belong to do so from time to time during the year. We play in accordance with USGA rules, so no gimmes, etc.

I turned 80 last fall and have shot my age or below over 100 times since I turned 72, but never before then. The first was the day after my 72nd birthday (shot 71, matching my lifetime low score). At the end of February this year, I shot 72 in a different local group that also competes in strict accordance with USGA rules, but is not considered a competition. After that one, the USGA adjusted my index, dropping me from 9.4 to 7.2. My WHS index today is 8.1.

As you can tell from the index, I frequently shoot above my age, My goal every time I play is to shoot 80 pr below, and is why I get number 74 on my custom Pro V1x through the Titlelist loyalty offer each spring. It is a terrific target score. I've been doing that since I turned 74 having decided that 70 or 72 were simply out of reach after ordering one of those numbers for a few years.

Being in generally good health helps a lot, and I work to maintain flexibility.

I turned 69 years old in February. I was 64 yo the first time I shot my age with a 63 on a par 72 course. I now play from the senior tees, but last year I shot my age or better 8 different times with 2 scores of 65 on a par 72 course. Missed out shooting my age last week when I bogeyed the 16th hole from 49 yards.

Some years ago I shot a 68 (35-33), I was 36 at that time.

Now i'm 55, I have to wait a couple of years to play below my age

I wont be able to shoot my age for another 50 years or so....




41 now...

You're in that perfect window where shooting your age on a 9-hole course is doable!
