OLDEST ACTIVE GOLF FOURSOME

The golfing foursome of Dr. W.T. Lockhart, Mr. Sam Adams, Mr, W.M. Mouat and Mr. Bill Wells is probably the oldest active golf Foursome in Canada. Their combined ages total 327 years.
By active, we mean active! Those four gentlemen play an average of four or five times per week, and they play at a pace that could put many younger players to shame.

These men still play a good game of golf, indicating that they were exceptionally good players in their youth. Mr. Mouat has already advanced through two rounds of match play in the Championship flight of the present tournament, by eliminating two his younger opponents. Dr s Lockhart was eliminated 2 up, in a tough 18 hole match with a man 53 years his junior!
