Can you answer this week’s trivia question from Vineyard Golf at White Lake?
Q: What is the average golf score for a 75 year old man?
A: A look at recent golf participation research shows that scores average between 90 and 94 for players
from age 20 to 70+. Players age 20-30 (89.7) are two strokes more proficient than those 30-40 (91.7).
The interesting flexion point is that scores improve for players 40-50 years old (91.5). The improvement in scoring is even better among those 50-60 (91.0) and 60-70 (91.0). This could be due to a number of factors. These older golfers likely have more time to devote to the sport so they can practice and play more frequently. When players get into their 70s and beyond, scores rise rather significantly (93.2).
