Seasoned Seniors

[Louie Phipps]

Scott (or whomever at WA sees this), I’ll be playing in my 22nd straight World Am this year and will play in the Seasoned Senior division, my 4th different division of play. My first year I was in the Senior division but that only lasted one year because I turned 60 the next year and moved to the Mid-Senior division and then 10 years later played with the “Old farts ” in the Super Senior division. Now, all of a sudden I’m in what will probably be my final division…the SEASONED SENIORS. Having not played with this illustrious group before I am curious about the turnout. Based on our age (80+) how many flights do we usually have and how is the turnout for our division going this year? Just wondering what kind of competition I’ll be facing.

Hey Louie – the 80+ only has 1 flight. Last year it was comprised of 6 – 36 indexes. Though most were in the middle of that. You don’t have to compete there if you would prefer a more tightly knit range you can move down to 70-79. Welcome back!

Louie, are you bringing you buddy from Spartanburg..? Played with him back in February at Forest Acres and of course he had to work into the round how he beat me in 2008.

Scott, thanks for the response. I’ll stay with the 80+ bunch. It will be nice to be the “youngster” for a change. Hey Bob…no, Tom Anderson will not be coming back this year but he still talks about taking the flight title from you.
