If you are 75 or older, congrats on a quick recovery and excellent golf score! I do think younger people heal faster and we have to take that into account in our expectations.

Absolutely. I live across from a park, golf where there are parks nearby and visible, and drive by similar parks. When I grew up we played sports in the park: threw down jackets to make corners of a football field or baseball bases, etc. Now the only people I see in the parks are a few folks walking dogs.

I believe it is very important stay active in old age. Hence my walking and golfing. But the newest younger generation seems to be fixated on their thumbs (wait until they find out about arthritis at the base of the thumb). I wonder if the same thing will be true of that generation as they age.
