Dear Eric: I’m a guy in my mid-60s, in relatively good health, but I’m fighting the whole getting older thing on a daily basis. I still want to hit the ball 250 yards every time and sexually knock it out of the park each time I get the chance (divorced and dating here).

The dogs are not friendly, so they spend no other time on our property and would have no reason to be more comfortable here.
