The Harbottles of Tacoma Impresses

Age does not matter in the sport of Golf, which is why it was no surprise when John Harbottle of Lakewood set another record when he shot his age or more. It was indeed an impressive feat as he is someone who belongs to the Pacific Northwest Golf Association Hall of Fame along with his wife, Pat Lesser Harbottle who is an accomplished golfer herself. Harbottle is actually 85 years old and he first accomplished this same feat 20 years ago in July of 1997.

He managed to do it one more time that year but he manages to do it a lot more times this year which is a good thing for him as he says it gets easier when time passes by. His accomplishment has become such a recognition in other golf clubs in the area that the club ended up presenting him with a piece of Kusak crystal with his accomplishment inscribed on it. It is pretty obvious he will put that in his trophy case because it is something he can show to his children and grandchildren. They will no doubt be proud of old man John because other people his age would be glad to just sit back and relax while watching the waves of the sea. John and his wife Pat chose another route and it is no surprise considering how much he loves the sport of golf. Speaking of his wife, she is a recognized name in the world of golf as well since she has won a title in eight consecutive decades.

Pat is best known for winning the US Women’s Championship Amateur way back in 1955. It is hard to imagine how she can still be that good at golf at her age. We should not be surprising as the Tacoma Country & Golf Club has a lot of really good members. They wouldn’t be members of the club if they are not good at golf after all.
