When I Was You Age
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 man 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 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."
