A young man who was also an avid golfer found himself with a few
hours to spare one afternoon. He figured if he hurried and played
very fast, he could get in 9 holes before he had to head home.
Just as he was about to tee off an old gentleman shuffled onto
the tee and asked if he could accompany the young man as he was
golfing alone. Not being able to say no, he allowed the old
gent to join him.

To his surprise the old man played fairly quickly. He didn't hit
the ball far, but plodded along consistently and didn't waste
much time. Finally, they reached the 9th fairway and the young
man found himself with a tough shot. There was a large pine tree
right in front of his ball and it was directly between his ball
and the green. After several minutes of debating how to hit the
shot the old man finally said, "You know, when I was your age I'd
hit the ball right over that tree."

With that challenge placed before him, the youngster swung hard,
hit the ball up, right smack into the top of the tree trunk and
it thudded back on the ground not a foot from where it had
originally lay. The old man offered one more comment, "Of course,
when I was your age that pine tree was only 3 feet tall."
