Golfing across the generations

This past week, I was golfing as part of my summer golf league. My dad and I are on the same team in the league, so we were golfing together. Rounding out our foursome were a pair of guys from another team.

One of the guys from the other team told us that he’d been golfing a few weeks ago at another course, and he’d played along with a father and son. The son was 74 and the father was 98.

When my dad is 98, I’ll be 71. I sure hope we can still go out and shoot 18 holes then. Heck, I’d even be happy with 9.
