Jolly, you really do need to read entire posts before commenting. It's only "fair." There are a number of guys who are both older and junior, both at the same time, but I guess that if they're senior to you, than that's all that counts. As well, I don't play golf. It's too exacting (and slow) for me. I'm into racquet sports, in a very big way.
I'm sorry that you just don't get it, but I'd be willing to bet that when you're approaching retirement, you will. And if, by chance, the rule does change, and guys who are approaching age 60 decide to stay on, what then? Will you still feel the way you do now? ... that they should just go away and play golf, or will it be different for them, because after all the rule has changed. If you feel that they should still just go away, I'd suggest that it's going to be a really loooooong, unhappy career for you. Maybe you should thing about changing your screen name to Eternally-Sad-F15. By the way, I think we've flown together over in Asia, when you were in the jet only a few months. But then again, I've been wrong before.
