How about when you regret selling that 7 wood that you got in a full bag deal. I'm so old that I can remember the Dead Sea before it was even sick!

Bick I'm so old that when we played hoops, we needed a ladder to take the ball out of the peach basket.

Ok DP say hello to my little friend,

One of my girlfriend's back in the day was so rich, they had the first VCR, in town, and a Amana Radar Range (microwave) She fixed me leftover fried chicken and mashed potatoes, and I remember being impressed, that the reheated chicken was moist, and the mashed tators were actually good reheated.

I remember my first VCR. It was $699 and I got it on sale for $649. My Christmas bonus was $700 that yr. and I blew it on a VCR.

Our first microwave we bought in the 70s. We kept setting it for 1 minute
and it would turn on and shut right back off. Did this numerous times.
We tried setting it for 10 minutes and it stayed on for 10 seconds. LMAO!!
You can't make this stuff up. And DP4 I'm not even Polish. (But I could
pass as one with a light bulb).

I'll be 64 next week. I started playing golf in 1965. You know you're old when you can remember watching golf on TV like the 1965 PGA Championship. Snead and Hogan played in it, and of course so did Palmer and Player who only won $737 apiece. Dave Marr won it for $25,000. I know times have changed but that's pretty much what Ricky Fowler won at the Honda Classic last week ($23,900) and he was way down the list...

My newest car is 13 years old. I know I'm old when I really can truthfully say, "I don't want a new car."

When I was in my late twenties, I golfed with an old dentist (80's), driving an old beat up 68 Cadillac. We got to talking during the round, and he told me his Caddy was better than anything made at the time (1981 or so). He showed me a water injection device from JC Whitney under the hood, which used a gallon milk jug for a water supply. He insisted his car got over 20 miles to the gallon of gas. More like 20 miles per gallon of water. (My 66 Cadillac got 8 mpg, and it was in sterling condition, wish I still had it. I still pine away for that car.)

Fortunately, cars are so complicated that I'm afraid to pop the hood. Otherwise, I'd probably be doing stupid things with my car.

Just wait until you start farting in public without realizing it until it's too late.

$25k in 1965 would be worth roughly $185k today.

When you forget to refill your prescriptions before getting to the course...so while you wait to t off, you use the walgreens app to fill them (and get excited about it).

This got me thinking. Did a quick search on minimum wage in 1965. $1.25. WOW!

You know you're getting old when on every tee box you are scoping along the fairway or green to find a tree to pee behind. Luckily, that's not me yet but a elderly gentleman a golf with occasionally. Each and every hole. I hope I have his golf game when I'm in my early 70s but not his bladder. Still hits his driver about 240 and has shot his age several times.

Dang, that explains why I was only 13 in 1965, and I'll be 64 next week, thanks :)

You know you're old when . . .


You can remember Gary McCord broadcasting the Masters.

You know where the expression "I really hit that on the screws" came from.

You'd rather have your pharmacist as your caddie than Stevie Williams.

You are absolutely not confused by the fact that "three metals" used to be made of wood.


I had one more . . .

You know you’re old when you watched “Back to the future” in a movie theater (IT’S A 1985 MOVIE KIDS!)… The date for the “Future” in the machine was [b]Oct 21, 2015.[/b] You do the math, but I guess that means that we came from the past!

[/quote]

If you saw back to the future at the movies your still a kid. I saw the original CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON at the movie house in town. It was in black and white!!! I'll be 61 in a few days. How do I know im getting old? I used to worry about a lot of unimportant crap like how I dress and what other people think. Now I only worry about important things like whats for dinner, did I get a tee time for tomarrow and have I cleaned my clubs yet.

When the trooper writing your ticket,ask if you have any questions..and the only one you come up with is wanting to

see his ID to determine if he's REALLY old enough to carry that weapon....and that got you another ticket.....and you still

thought it was funny

You know you are old if you walked several miles to and from school up hills both ways in 3 ft. of snow.
[/quote]

Like many of you guys...........I did walk to school all winter, the place had saloon stye doors on the restrooms and a big old giant coal furnace..............all the classrooms had iron radiators, we'd lay our wet gloves and coats on them after recess to dry out. We always went outside because there was no gym.

The world was simpler then.........
