These two old dudes make you feel young again!
First there is Tom Watson, a gritty 59 year old, who against all odds is leading the British Open. Say what? Isn’t that guy on the senior tour? Granted he won 5 British Open and can still bombed it over 300 feet….but the last PGA major he won was in 1987! Okay so the first day I shoots a 65. Sure we all know that Tom Watson can shoot a low score.That he is still fit and limber.But a 70 on the second day on a semi rainy cold windy day? The same day number one player in the world was sent packing home with a 73? Got to be kidding. By the way one of his playing partner was 43 years younger….and Tom out drove him and showed him how to play a link course.After all he did win 5 British Open.
Is he going to win? Slim chance…if he finishes in the top 5 that would already be amazing.So now in my early 50’s I feel young again. Bless you Tom.After the round I went and biked around the island of Fort Myers Beach. Had to stretch first though but I am sure he inspired many boomers out there. he was asked if he thought he could win. He answered” I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t think so.”
Then there is Sir Paul McCartney. He just performed on top of the Ed Sullivan Marquee/Live on Letterman.It was a mini concert and Paul was in great form. I thought what the ? This old rocker is 67 year old! I’ve had mixed feelings about Paul’s ability to sing with enough strength in the last 20 years.Sometimes he hits it, sometimes I think: :”give it a rest!” But that day he showed that he had plenty of energy and range in his voice regardless of your musical taste. I specially like his rendition of “Let me roll it”. The crowd did to. All ages applauded loudly after that song.
So the old rock and roller music hall of famer/ ex Beatles did it again. Have you ever tried to sing a bunch of songs on top of your lungs? Not easy. That was pretty cool to watch the New York crowd stopped in its steps, gathered by the thousands and along the buildings, hundreds of silhouettes from the high rises filling up the window glass.Pretty cool for an old dude.Pretty cool for anyone who can stop New York for awhile.

So enjoy and grab the day or as they used to say Carpe Diem!….that would be “seize the day”.
These 2 old dudes made me smile.
