Hollis Stacy is a World Golf Hall of Famer and a four-time Women’s Major Champ. She’s also 72 years old and still a scratch golfer. Less than 1% of women ever reach scratch. Hollis got there as a kid and has never let go.
In this match, Performance Golf CEO Brixton Albert, a scratch golfer himself, meets Hollis for a 9-hole match play to settle one question: does age actually matter in golf? To even it out, Hollis plays a course set about 1,000 yards shorter, they put a friendly five dollars on the line, and they go shot for shot down a tight, demanding track.
Between shots, Hollis opens up about the day she broke 90 at 11 years old and carried the scorecard in her back pocket, her father, a wounded World War II vet, walking 18 holes to watch her very first win in 1977, why she replaced both knees and a shoulder just to get her golf swing back, the mental game that separates major winners from everyone else, and the single best piece of advice you’ll hear all year: treat yourself like your own best friend. It’s part golf clinic, part life lesson, and the match comes right down to the final hole.

Life and golf lessons in the same round, what a treat it would be to play with this lovely lady.
I go golfing all the time so my guys don't go I need somebody to golf with that go with her and listen and learn all day
I’ve never watched this guy’s content before, but I have to say, he is awesome. Very gracious and a great interviewer. Unlike a lot of other golf influencer clowns.
Stacey and I are the same age. I remember watching her in her prime. She still has a great swing-very fluid.
Don't need the intrusive music 🙁
Boy, you were kind to her. Where was my 1000 yards?
What an absolute privelge to play with this gem of a woman.
That level of wisdom is priceless.
This is a fantastic video. What a player Hollis Stacy is and she clearly has a HOF record. Makes it look effortless, which I guess is her point. Rhythm and tempo is the key. Interesting she mentioned Lydia Ko twice because that’s who I thought of when seeing Hollis play.
Where are they playing?
I remember as an 8 handicapper, catching up with an old lady who was also playing on her own. She asked if I'd like to join her for the rest of the round.. I'd hoped she was just going to wave me through, but not wishing to be rude, I agreed to join her.. She hit every fairway and green in regulation and didn't 3 putt once. Turns out that this old gal used to play for the Scottish women's team in her younger day and was no slouch. A joy to watch.
She’s a gem!! We need more of her somewhere on YouTube
I`d like to see he play OMP from Golfmates. Two legends!
One club chipping is a big mistake.
I would love to play a round with her, she is a treasure. What a sweet, humble ambassador to the game.
thats alright, it'll be in the middle in a minute
I remember her when she was playing. Man how time flies by. She still has a good looking swing.
Excellent video and game together. This sums up the positivity of golf
Hollis played big when it counted. Slam dunk HOF'er
Punch to an elderly lady’s gut ‘I was negative 3’ lololol
Love Hollis Stacy from Sav. Do you still play @the Landings? From Sav and started golf late.
What a lovely woman and champion. Thank you for the post. 👍
Wait why does it matter where the sun is setting when putting??? Is this something I'm missing. She was amazing just amazing. Imagine shooting your age as your handicap!
She is a legend.
I wasn’t sure which way to go on my comment here, Hollis Stacy is just such a wonderful woman.
Subscribed! Never heard of this channel! I wanna know what’s in her bag?
Thanks for sharing. She is a special human being ⛳️
Great to see Hollis again making great golf content, giving out some wisdom for life. Loved the Pat Perez story and her "Sit Ubu, Sit" comments. By the way, the phrase was about UBU products, often after shows like Family Ties in the 1980s. The actual dog, Ubu Roi, died in 1984. Good luck to her in the upcoming tournament!
WOW! That was beautiful! Best golf video of 2026. I so remember Hollis back in the 70 s and 80s. Curtis Cup team member too.
What a fantastic piece of advice. "Treat yourself like your best friend." I will remember that for ever
What an inspirational video. My goal is to break my age. After 35 years out of golf (played off 1 as a youngster) and 2 new knees, I'm back into it. Target max 74 when I am max 75. I am now 68. (My dad did 75 when he was 76 and by the time he was 80 almost always broke his age)
A Georgia girl from a beautiful town. What a treasure we have had. I wish my cousin Vinny had signed her to his agency. Such a fine golfer. He represented Daniel, Love and Kite.
The name of this video should have been "I Played a golf legend who happens to be 72 years old"
This is one of the reasons Internet/YT Golf is going to be dominant for a long time.
What an amazing person!! She’s a best on the green!!!!! Love watching these types of videos
I hate that first tee shot as well!! The ranger watching, maybe the group behind you, and I always duff it!
That was brilliant – delightful lady.
What a wonderful lady and she can play. Brilliant video! 👍👍
What a treat to play with her!
Female Scratch Golfer Hollis Stacy i m your biggest fan i dream i will be meet in chicago pga tournament to take a selfie with you , its great moments for me 🙂🙂
Osprey Point. Great public course
"Are you nervous?!!" 🤣
She seems nice. Unlike all the old hags that golf in my area lol they are the worst
Great video. This will keep a lot of seniors playing the game. Thanks to your team and to Hollis.
I’m so Gen X. I heard “sit bo bo” and “sit Ubu sit good dog” came to me from the 80s TV shows.
Enjoyed every word from her. Keep up the videos.
I just love how EVERY, SINGLE, SHOT is "not good" or just "alright" for golfers. One of the few sports that they are way too harsh on themselves. He is hitting shots to 10 feet and upset LOL. Gotta love it 🙂
What a great woman. And can still play proper golf. She is so lovely but you can still see that competitive edge in her.great video.
She is such a lovely woman, love to see more of her
What course is this they are playing at?
I realize that this dude thinks he's being a chill bro, but so much of what he says to her is condescending. This lady has hit great shot after great shot for decades and he acts surprised every time, like he expects her to break a hip just because she's 72.
What a classy lady! Fabulous video and impressive golf!
