Tiger Woods, Seve Ballesteros and Bobby Jones are three of the greatest names in golf — yet none have matched the feat of this 79-year-old — who didn't even pick up a club until he was 45.

"Usually, the only guys that ever do that, and it's super rare, are guys that have been very low handicappers back in their youth," he said.

Mr Francis's achievement was at the Tasmania Golf Club in Hobart last week, where the course is 6,214 metres in total length."It's absolutely incredible, especially at a course like this," Mr Priest said.'You're close', golf partner buddy said Illness, injury and accidents have prevented many former golfing greats like Ballesteros, Payne Stewart and Jones from ever having the opportunity to beat their age.
