Well, the guy told me I won the match. Since that *never*
happens normally, I just assumed it was because I played well. :-)

I've promised my wife I will stop complaining about getting
old, but this is a trial. Golfers must have this same problem.
Glasses just move the ball ever so slightly. It seems to take
the brain an inordinately long time to catch up. Meanwhile,
you just slightly mis-hit everything. In the league I play
in, slightly mis-hitting balls is NOT a good idea. You're
liable to get killed. Or, more likely, your partner will
get killed, which tends to alienate you from the group
even more than complaining about how old you are. :-(

Cheers,

David
