Back in February, I played with a 95 yo, who had lived in TV for 40 year in the same house in the Historic Area...

He's a Viet Nam vet, with 3 Purple Hearts,. He had one eye, a chunck of his chest missing, and part of his right upper arm blown off by a grenade...

He plays 18 holes 3-4 times/week. He also kicked my @ss... Plays from the Green Tees. Every shot right down the middle, deadly around the greens...

He's the oldest one I've met...

I would be very surprised if someone around age 100 was on TOTV. I don't think that I've met anyone born in the 1920's that would touch a computer, although I'm sure there's outliers out there.

I'm not 100, but I do feel that old.

She does well.............long distance we rely on an I-Pad for live video chats.

Travel north to exec, play one a week. You may need some patience, but the experience is priceless.

Usually play with at least one 95-98yo. Some have a little shuffle, some spring in their step, but can still hit the ball, sometimes needed that ability to cart close to green, but not near it.

Which some truly believe not only cause damage, but slows play.

Last week out with my sons and the group in front of us was all in their 90s. Yes it was a little slow, but then on the 9th tee, the last one hit, a hole in one. His face was priceless, first hole in one. We stopped at the shack to congratulate, a very happy soon to be 98yo.
