Second game of golf in 35 years

[Terrierman]

OK. So I went to play golf today for the second time in 35 years. Going to walk nine by myself. But there's this old man in the pro shop and he asks me if we can play together. He had a US Navy WWII hat on. I said sure, so we got things going. Turns out the guy is 93 NINETY THREE years old. Served on an aircraft carrier in the South Pacific for the duration of the war. Chief Aircraft Mechanic. He was on the USS Manila Bay. At the end of the war the Manila Bay was among the first ships to sail into Tokyo Harbor. Their job was to "make darn sure those japs didn't fly anymore - and they didn't!" Told him I was USMC and that was all it took. We are now friends from now on.

What a day. Had to remind him several times what direction to hit the ball and that we were playing golf not just hunting lost golf balls. His favorite saying was "I hit the ball, and if I can find it, I hit it again"

How lucky can one guy get?

I was visiting my mother at a Florida retirement community in January and went to the local course to pass some time. I hooked up with a threesome that included an eighty five year old. The rest of us were all in our sixties. We had to find his ball after every shot but he beat everyone by at least 2 strokes.
