Congratulations on turning 51.
You have many great years ahead of you.
No doubt that age is a factor- the community swimming pool looks better and better on hot days as the years go by- but at the same time cold tolerance also decreases drastically with age and March and November, once months that were stingy in offering golf days, now are pretty good golf months.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
