Golf Scoring News – A remarkable Milestone at Woodhill

At Woodhill, we are privileged to witness many great moments on the course – from personal bests to club victories. But every now and then, a truly rare achievement comes along that deserves special recognition. Today, it’s my pleasure to share one such moment with our valued golf members.

Golf Scoring Percentages – just how rare is excellence?

• Breaking 100:  Around 55 – 60 % of golfers achieve this milestone.
• Breaking 90:  Only about 25% regularly break 90.
• Breaking 80:  A mere 5 – 10 % reach this level.
• Breaking 70:  Fewer than 1% of golfers ever shoot in the 60s – usually only scratch golfers or professionals.

To put it into perspective:  Out of 100 golfers, roughly 60 break 100, 25 break 90, 5 – 10 break 80 and just 1 might break 70.

Shooting Your Age:

• Fewer than 1% of golfers will ever manage to “shoot their age”.
• Some studies suggest it’s rare as 1.0089% – less than 9 in a million – particularly on courses measuring 6000 yards or more.

Congratulations to Louis Bekker!

A huge congratulations to Louis Bekker (Woodhill Honorary Member) for achieving this rare feat by shooting his age – 73 gross. This is not only an exceptional individual performance, but also a first ever reported and logged success at Woodhill.

Well done Louis – an inspiration to all of us at the club!

Wishing all members a great weekend.

Best Regards,
Rosh Schoeman
