Sorry to say it really just didnt feel right to me any more, so I told the guys no, and kept on riding my bikes. Besides another reason I decided not to golf is they always rented carts, so there really wasnt much exercise at all.

Now that I am 82, sadly I am the only one in reasonable shape, and the other guys have had to give up their golfing for several different reasons. While genes may have something to do with it, I still pretty much lay my good health to the fact that I stayed with cycling. As I have stated before, I ride about 25 miles every other day, and some longer rides with my bike clubs. If you set you rust.
