Never too old to play

Should we not be on the golf course at our age?

Sir, – Liz Harpur’s letter in Saturday’s paper (Letters, July 1st) made me smile.

I played golf in an outing last week along with three of my close friends. At the half-way mark a “young” 41-year-old man (he told me his age) told us he really admired what we were doing. Being a little unsure what he meant, I asked him if he thought we were too old to be playing golf.

He replied that he didn’t say we were old but (according to him – certainly not us) most women of our age would be “at home knitting socks for our grandchildren”!

We laughed our way around the back nine holes. – Yours, etc,
