A golfer took one more swing for her 100th birthday.
The moment was captured by FOX 26 Houston, which reported that a golfer got one more swing for her 100th birthday.
A Birthday Swing
What Anita lacked in an early start, she made up for in skill. The station’s report notes she became a 7-handicap golfer, a mark that places her among the more accomplished amateur players regardless of age. Her game peaked in 1995, when she won the Texas Senior Women’s Championship, per the same account.

Other Centenarian Golfers
Other stories have featured centenarians playing golf. In Pennsylvania, 100-year-old Pearl Atwood teed off just two days after her own 100th birthday at Twin Woods Golf Course in Hatfield, Montgomery County, as reported by CBS Philadelphia. And Golf Monthly has profiled another 100-year-old player, Margaret Montgomery, who has credited her longevity to what she calls the “Four Gs.”
Houston-area golf has had its own centenarian milestones before. ABC13 Houston reported back in 2019 on a golf course marshal in The Woodlands who was still on the job when he turned 100.
For Anita, the details of her swing at TPC Houston — how far the ball traveled, whether she completed a hole, or who joined her to mark the occasion — weren’t included in FOX 26’s coverage. What’s on record is simple enough: a Sugar Land centenarian, a club in hand, and a game she picked up in her 50s and never fully let go of.
