John, I'm ten years ahead of you, in that I turned 70 in January.
But behind you in that when I was your age I had never golfed out of the country and never heard of GCA.
This decade for me saw five trips to Great Britain, two 5th majors at Dismal, two Dixie Cups, one Buda and a chance to meet many of most friendly and knowledgable golfers around - my fellow GCA-ers.
My biggest disappointment was missing the last day of Buda last month due to back pain and a relapse of Mono. But meeting folks like Marty, Sean, Tony, Jerry and others made it all worthwhile.
Thanks to Ran for all of you that I have had the pleasure of meeting due to the existence of GCA
