You Must Have Been Playing Golf Today

A side story…

One day last week when the sun blazed most of the day and the temperatures reached into the 90s…

I was at the motel for the evening. I was walking down the hallway towards my room. In front of me was an old couple (almost as old as me ;). They were walking slowing and both with slight limps. The woman turned, noticed me, and started to move to the side with a, “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t know I was holding you up.”

“No problem,” I replied. “I’m not moving very fast myself.” That was true as I was tired, sore, and a little dehydrated.

Her answer was, “You must have been playing golf today.”

That was a pretty good guess as many men my age play golf for recreation. Some of us, however, walk a thousand miles in all kinds of weather for recreation. Just a different set of preferences. Perhaps I should take up golf. I may be missing something.
