If you are not a golfer, you may think a hole in one is the ultimate goal for any golfer. Well, it sure is nice but it is far from the most difficult achievement by any golfer. The ultimate achievement in golf is the ability to shoot your own age. No one on the PGA tour has ever accomplished this (they are too young). So, Don Plapinger did what so many of the Saddlebrooke golfers have done; he got older. After reaching the golden age of 75 last June, he managed to shoot his age at MountainView this year, on Saturday, January 4.

And, he did so in style by getting a birdie on the 18th hole to card a sensational 75! Unit 49 golfers are always gifted with a trophy to commemorate the first time they achieve this milestone along with the unit’s McDivot Award. McDivot is given when someone does something special or really, really not so special!!!

Congratulations, Don!
