Who is the youngest golfer to have shot his age?

Question

Can anyone name the youngest man to have done so?

Answer 1

I should add that while Robert Hoskins score did take place, the scorecard was not accepted as official, so technically I was still right when I said that Hamilton holds the record. Not taking anything away from Hoskins, or Jeff's knowledge!

Answer 2

Fair enough Jeff, I bow to your superior knowledge on this, guess I missed Rocket's round. How typical that when I'm in error, I post the answer twice...

Answer 3

your answer is wrong.. hate to tell you. In October of 2008.. Rocket Hoskins of Ramona,Ca. was playing at Las Colinas golf course in Queen Creek ,AZ. and shot a 13 under par 58 at the age of 58. It was a spectacle to behold of incredible proportions. Hit 17 of 18 greens..  Hit every fairway and almost got a Hole-in-One. Just Google " Youngest Man to shoot his age in Golf. I can attest to this score as  " I WAS THERE".. He played from the Coyote tees which were the tips and it was the most intense and incredible display of gold i have ever seen. There were lots of "lucky" moments.. but he made every 20-30 foot putt he looked at. Look at his scorecard and see how insane this round was. Just Google it.

In golf, an age-shooter is somebody who shoots a round that matches his or her age. The overall record for the youngest golfer to shoot his age belongs to Bob Hamilton, a golf pro who shot his age of 59 at Hamilton Golf Club in Evansville, Indiana, in 1975.
