MCCLOUD, CA (August 7, 2005) -- Carl Selkirk's wife was doing some cycling in
the McCloud area, about 150 miles North of his home in Chico this weekend, so
he decided to enter the McCloud Open golf tournament at the 9-hole McCloud Golf
Course. Selkirk has a longtime connection to the golf course - his Scottish uncle
helped design and build it in the 1920's.
The fact that Selkirk will turn 62 in October and the tournament was lacking a
'senior' division provided no advantage to the rest of the field.
"I was playing with some guys in their 20's the first day," explained
Selkirk, who shot 68 in the first round. "At the end of the round, they said
'You know, you're a pretty good golfer for an old guy.'"
Pretty good indeed. Despite finishing 4-over-par for his last three holes after
missing the old-school greens and failing to get up-and-down, Selkirk's score
of 3-under-par 141 was good for a 7 stroke victory. He will be back in his age
bracket soon, as one of his next major events is the US Amateur qualifier on August
22nd.
