Will be 72 in August, still fairly limber and no chronic aches or pains. Age has some advantages. One of the local courses has weekly ABCD scramble and has a "Super Senior" tee box set forward of normal Seniors for +70 players with my ability to hit 200+ yd. drives down the middle provides ability to be a contributing player.
How old are you?

Well, I’ll be darned if it doesn’t look like I am lower than whale ,,,, on the pole at 72. Didn’t see any older. Hit my driver 257 yards (in the fairway) during my fitting a week ago. May not be as good as I once was but I am as good once as I ever was.
I'm 78, decided to make the move to senior shafts. Starting with the driver and going from there to other clubs. Have played senior tees from some time, it has helped make the game enjoyable again.

good for you 1943. At least there are two of us that when someone uses the word cell phone we think they added phones at the local jail..

I fall into the "or older" category. I am 76 and some days I really feel my ago--other days I don't feel a day over 75. I did move to senior shafts and tees this past year and the benefits made for a more enjoyable game.
165 votes and it's a pretty even split in each group above 30; that's interesting but bodes well for parity across the forum.
Lemme see: 1974, so that would make me 48 this year if I did the math correctly

Hey, I know a couple of guys that look a lot like you two. Me and @jim54 at the 2019 Budget Golf Championship.

I agree. I was hoping to see this. Obviously we have way more than 165 THP members but cool to see such an even split amongst this small sample.

My Mom told me that many years ago. She was getting up there and would try to do too much. She would say that her problem was that she was still 19 in her head!
I had that going for a while as well, in my early 50's. People would guess that I was in my late 30's or early 40's. Somewhere along the line that went away!

I just went through the 30 crisis myself
I skipped to the end but has the old saying I act my shoe size not my age been dropped?
I’ll have to say that I am surprised by the large percentage of 66 or older voters. I will be 68 later this month... and my “perception” has been that this was a site dominated by younger players... (maybe in the 25 to 40 range). And... it still may be - as only a small group of THPers have responded. Would’ve thought that “older guys” would be less responsive on social media. Hey... a little spunk in the old geesers, huh.
I'm 42
60, 1/3 of the way to 61.
My wife says I'm like a 12 year old though.
Some day's its 30 and others it's 70.....

For those that think being 30 is a crisis, you ain’t seen nothin yet. Haha
40. Turned 40 the day I ordered my Morgan Cup equipment. Best birthday present ever.

Maybe cause 66+ covers such a wide age range compared to the other choices?
I sure hope folks keep answering. Love seeing the breakdown.
