I have an old friend who used to talk about peoples ages by what "hole "they were on. If the average life expectancy is 78 then that's about 4.4 years per hole. You're playing the ninth hole at age 40.

At 62 you're on the 14th hole. 75 equals the 17th hole.

Most of us have been on the back nine of life for quite some time.
I want to live long enough to get to the 19th hole (the clubhouse's bar)!
