94 years old. 94 years old and still going strong. I and really mean going strong. I saw him on the golf course (Swope) Sunday afternooon in 95 degree heat with almost unbearable humidity. 94 years old and he's out there hitting 200yd drives over and over with a big smile on his face happy as can be. Its hard to put into perspective, but seeing him out there really left me with a great feeling. I watched him hit half a dozen tee shots on a hole that had a forced carry to get to the fairway and you could tell that just the challenge of the big tee shot still had him excited. He really is something special.
