Dr. Jerry Weis turned 90 in April and celebrated the way a lot of golfers would hope – quietly, then back to the course.
“It was actually low key. We went out to dinner and I had a very nice time with my soulmate,” he says. “Did I play golf? I don’t remember. May have (he smirked), but did I play well? That much I can’t recall. That’s one of the perks of being 90. You can always say you don’t remember.”
The thing everyone at Vi at Bentley Village in Naples, Florida does remember is this: Weis recently won his eighth club championship, more than anyone in the community’s history. That would be impressive at any age. At 90 – and after two open-heart surgeries and a knee replacement – it feels almost mythical.
More Than a Club, A Community…
