I went to Nagoya to pray for the souls of the departed one hundred and five years old aunt ( actually she was a cousin of my mother) by offering incense sticks. She looked as usual until the day before. As she said she felt aches on her breast in early morning, her son brought her to a hospital. But when she arrived, she was dead. It was really a gentle and easy death.
It is needless to say that the hearty and warm cares by both of her son and his wife contributed much to live her long. But they told me one of her secrets for keeping long life.
She kept taking milk in volume everyday. My mother's sister who died this year just before the one hundredth birthday, had continued to drink two liters of milk everyday. It was her daily work to go out to get it. The aunt took milk as much as she did. The aunt fell down a few times but she never broke her bones like legs or hands. This might be a proof of milk effects. They told me this was one of her secrets for living long.
My mother was two years younger than the aunt but she died twenty years ago at her age of eighty three years. She told us repeatedly she did not like milk because she heard about milk drinking from both from the aunt and her sister. One day she fell on the floor from her bed and crashed her waist. The accident caused her death much earlier than the aunt. Furthermore I could not be with her because of my business assignment. I regret it very much even today.
Her son is two years younger than me but he is an excellent player of golf at his age. He plays more than a hundred rounds of golf game a year. He became a winner of monthly club competition just a few days ago. He volunteers for his golf club activation earnestly and is now working on editing club magazines. The following is a note on the magazine written by him. He is a former professor of philology.

You may notice that there are not a few players finished with the same net score when you refer to a record book of golf games.As defined by the competition rule No. 2 on the club diary book of Wago. the countback method is adopted from this year, not using play off, sudden death or in order of ages methods.
Countdown is now became very popular as it is used when they shoot artificial satellite. Meanwhile countback began to be used in English after 1990. The 9th edition of the Concise Oxford Dictionary 1995 does not carry the word. Anyway we have to play the last three holes cautiously.
I learned two things today. If you want to live long, take milk as much as possible. If you want to become a good golf player, make every effort in your power.
