Beverly, 90 years young, had played golf every single day since her retirement 25 years ago. The game wasn\u2019t just a hobby \u2014 it was her routine, her joy, her way of staying active and sharp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But one evening, she came home looking defeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s it,\u201d she told her husband, Gus. \u201cI\u2019m quitting golf. My eyesight has gotten so bad that once I hit the ball, I can\u2019t see where it goes anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gus, who had just celebrated his 103rd birthday, slowly got up, made her a cup of tea, and smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhy don\u2019t you take me with you tomorrow and give it one more try?\u201d he suggested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beverly looked at him skeptically. \u201cYou\u2019re 103 years old! What help could you possibly be?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gus puffed out his chest proudly. \u201cI may be old,\u201d he said, \u201cbut my eyesight is still perfect. I\u2019ll watch where the ball lands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next morning, Beverly decided to give it one last chance. They arrived at the golf course, and with a deep breath, she lined up her shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She swung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a beautiful hit \u2014 straight and strong, disappearing into the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beverly turned to Gus anxiously. \u201cDid you see it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gus nodded confidently. \u201cYes, I saw it perfectly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Relieved, Beverly smiled. \u201cGreat! So where did it land?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gus paused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He frowned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then he scratched his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And finally he said\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
