Australia has another 100-year-old golfer, after Isabel Sutherland celebrated the milestone at the Claremont Golf Club in Hobart.

She is one of a handful of centenarians around the country still playing golf.

Forty-four years ago she was organized for some golf lessons by her husband, and Isabel has not stopped playing.

“Very good therapy,” she told ABC news. “Some mornings you feel a bit off, we all do, you go to golf, you forget about yourself.”

Claremont embraced the day with a full celebration including pipers to note Isabel’s Scottish ancestry, and a cake.

Despite her reticence, she was celebrated as a legend of the club.

Claremont’s media manager Sally-Ann Bosworth said the veteran still played twice a week, walking the full 18 holes.

“She’s unbelievable, Isabel,” said Bosworth.

“I’m not very special, just a lady from Scotland,” Isabel Sutherland told ABC.

“I advise anyone to take up golf. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.”
