    "get up, hit your ball, start walking".
    95% of the public should heed that advice. Well done Phyllis!

      One of my golf buddies is 87. He loves the game so much and still has a nice swing, but he usually has to limit himself to 9 holes.

      @@PongGod There was an older couple in front of us the other day. He looked like he was at least mid 80s, had a very deliberate walk. His wife had some fire in her step and in her game. They called it after 8 holes. I was very inspired.

    I played today with a gentleman who is 79 years ol. He walked, carried his bag and shot 77. All of you who do things like this are an inspiration to the rest of us. For me, 65 and keeping on walking. It is a bit of play or perish.

    I was a golf pro in my 20s. I worked at a country club in TX for a while, and Charlie Sifford was a member there. Charlie was the first black PGA tour player. He was in his 80s at the time, but he would spend 5 hours everyday on our practice green, just chipping and putting with a big old cigar in his mouth. Even in the middle of Houston summers. He was still deadly on the greens too.
    I wouldn't say we became friends, but definitely quite friendly. I've got a signed copy of his book still. RIP Charlie

    I live across the country from Oregon but I wouldn't have thought you would have 300 decent days to play golf. And I have never seen any 91 y/o that could walk 18 holes of golf. She is amazing.....only 2 hours to walk 18 holes and that is with two other golfers. This segment needs to be on the national news.

    I used to work at a golf club and there were suprisingly quite a few golfers who were in there late 80s/early 90s that still played 18 holes. And they always scored well because they didn't try to overswing, keep it simple. Its great exercise, fresh air and keeps the mind active as well.

Down on his knees measuring puts even though some are less than 3 feet. Drives me bonkers. And then he marks his card but for what? And he marks it standing on the green. Jesus he should take a look at this young lady. Well done Phyllis.
