− Laid low this summer by a nasty bout of Lyme disease, Barbara Serena is embracing the things she likes to do the most to spur her recovery.Barbara, who will turn 89 on Jan. 2, 2024, is golfing again and looks ahead to reaching a new decade at 90: “I think it’s going to be great.”
A few minutes later, the pair were starting their round. Barbara played from the red tee, used by golfers who prefer a shorter distance to the hole. After she took her first shot, she relaxed.Barbara is the oldest member of the Braintree Women’s Golf Association. Denise Wessman, the assistant tournament director, who is 72, calls her “an inspiration.”
“I’m a late bloomer,” Barbara said about her zest for sports in her ninth decade. “I didn’t start golfing until I was 60, when some friends suggested we all take lessons, and I just got hooked. When I was 80, I had a hole-in-one. I just love it.” Barbara Serena had a very good day when she was 80 and she hit a hole-in-one in September 2015 at the Braintree Municipal Golf Course. She was at the 16th hole.
