True.
Though some of us get glorified titles for years of service or for celebrity status.
Professor "Emeritus." "Honorary" Mayor of Derby or "Honorary" degree from Yale for a person who maybe never went to college. "Keys to the City," is another one.
In the UK, a "distinguished" person gets "knighted." And , a distinguished female actress gets the title "Dame."
For the rest of us, what? Maybe "Boneyarder for Life?" Actually, we have the privilege of self-designating ourselves by our screen names.
You mentioned golf. I would think being able to get in the cart without assistance, and being able to walk the entire course, would be something to glad for.
