#Laughs 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 nine 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 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 chal
lenge 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 three feet tall."
