Scratch players are in the top ~1% of all amateur golfers.
They average ~4.7 bogeys per round.
They average ~ 2.2 birdies per round.
From 110 yards in the fairway, they are getting it up and down about 1 out of 10 times.
A scratch player...
Playing a par 72...
With a 71.5 course rating...
And a 131 slope rating...
Will have a scoring average of about 75 over their last 20 rounds.
However, if you read enough of Lou's posts, you will realize that most 65 y/o and above should not be playing the back two tee boxes based upon their age/expected/average distance off the tees anyway. . one can be scratch at the men's forward tees. . .

Wow, I feel better about myself without a lesson.
Interesting ............... the "65 and above" comment vs. driving distance (no matter what age).
I believe it's driving distance, not age, determining back two tees.
