When I'm 64...

Sam Snead at 67 years old.

Tom Watson at 65 years old.

Jack Nicklaus at 64 years old.   

Three of golf’s five or six greatest ever, including the GOAT.  Pretty select company.

Now, add Fred Funk to that dazzling list.  At age 64.

That’s right.  Fred Funk finished 36 holes at -1 under par in the Bermuda Championship at Port Royal Golf Course yesterday, making the cut by a comfortable margin.  He did so while playing with his son Taylor, who nearly mugged his father with joy when Fred chipped in for birdie on the final hole yesterday.

 See it here here

Son Taylor failed to make the cut on the windswept Port Royal course, but I don’t think he minded one little bit.

Makes one think of the Beatles, a Lennon-McCartney masterpiece, from way back when:

When I get older, losing my game, Many years from now

Will you still me watching me make the cut

Then watch me down a bottle of wine

If I'd been short of the cut by three
Would you lock the door
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four
