Golf swing still going strong at 100

Richie McKay may be 100 years old but he’s still got a golf swing many amateurs would envy.

The Ormskirk Golf Club member celebrated his century birthday and the club had a special event in his honour, according to an article in the Ormskirk Advertiser.

He still plays twice a week off a handicap of 23, having once gone as low as 11, and said: “I don’t feel any different a 100. I try to walk a few miles a day and I eat good plain food.”

The former military man who served in Normandy days after D-Day is thought to be the oldest man in Britain with an active handicap. He has been playing the game for 60 years.
