89 Is The New 72: Golfer Posts 17 Strokes Below His Age
/Samantha Incorvaia of AZcentral Sports with the story of Peoria, Arizona's Ralph Sleeper who tied the current Guinness record for shooting below your age...in February.
He has since turned 90 but because his son hasn't heard back from Guinness, Sleeper's 89 at Westbrook Village GC hasn't been added to the record books.
“It was one of those days where everything was going well,” he said.
Shooting 17 below age ties the recognized Guinness record, held by two golfers who also were 89. James D. Morton shot a 72 at Valleybrook Golf and Country Club in Tennessee in April 2001. Keith Plowman carded a 72 at Maungakiekie Golf Club in Auckland, New Zealand, in November 2007.
