The Golfer

An 80-year old guy goes to the doctor for a check-up. The doctor is amazed at what good shape the guy is in and asks, "How do you stay in such
great physical condition?"

I'm a golfer, " says the old guy, "and that's why I'm in such good shape.
I'm up well before daylight and out golfing up and down the fairways."
 
 "Well," says the doctor, "I'm sure that helps, but there's got to be more to it. How old was your dad when he died?"
 
 Who said my dad's dead?"

The doctor is amazed. "You mean you're 80 years old and your dad's still alive. How old is he?"

"He's 100 yrs old," says the old golfer. "In fact, he golfed with me this morning, and that's why he's still alive... he's a golfer too."

"Well," the doctor says, "that's great, but I'm sure there's more to it than that. How about your dad's dad? How old was he when he died?"
 
 "Who said my grandpa's dead?"
 
 Stunned, the doctor asks, "You mean you're 80 years old and your grandfather's still living! Just how old is he anyway?"
 
 "He's 118 years old," says the old golfer.
 
 The doctor is getting frustrated at this point and says, "So, I guess he went golfing with you this morning too?"

"No. Grandpa couldn't go this morning because he got married."

The doctor can hardly believe it. "Got married!! Why in the hell would a 118 year-old guy want to get married?"

"Who said he wanted to?" replied the golfer.
