Cy Peachy, a lifelong golfer, got to live his dream by playing in a tournament against golfing greats Arnold Palmer and Gary Player.

It was part of the inaugural Shoot Your Age tournament in The Villages, Fla.

In the tournament, par is your age. Amateur and professional players from around the world gathered and the top 34 played against Palmer and Player in a tournament televised on CBS.

Cy, an 81-year-old Villages resident, was one of the golfers good enough to make the cut.

He talked to Growing Bolder about teeing off against some of the greatest golfers who’ve ever lived.
