Jan 2018

I live in a community where most of the people are seniors. My cohorts are quite active. They cross country ski, mow their own lawns, run or walk at the park, ride bikes, play pickle ball, and yes, golf. One guy is in the senior olympics every year for swimming. He gets up at 4:30 every morning to go to the pool to swim.

This asshat rides in a golf cart and picks up a club to hit a little ball occasionally. Other than that, he doesn't do anything else, so no, he is NOT active.
