"Mad Golfer"<br /><br />The other day I was playing golf and saw<br />an unusual thing. A golfer became so mad<br />that he threw his brand new set of golf clubs<br />into the lake.<br /><br />A few minutes later he came back, waded<br />into the lake, and retrieved his clubs. He<br />proceeded to take his car keys out of the bag --<br />then threw the clubs back into the water.<br />__________________________________________________<br /><br />"Pine Tree"<br /><br />A young man who was also an avid golfer, found<br />himself with a few hours to spare one afternoon.<br />He figured if he hurried and played very fast, he<br />could get in 9 holes before he had to head home.<br /><br />Just as he was about to tee off an old gentleman<br />shuffled onto the tee and asked if he could<br />accompany the young man as he was golfing<br />alone. Not being able to say no, he let the old<br />gent join him.<br /><br />To his surprise the old man played fairly quickly.<br />He didn't hit the ball far, but plodded along<br />consistently and didn't waste much time.<br /><br />Finally, they reached the 9th fairway and the young<br />man found himself with a tough shot. There was a<br />large pine tree right in front of his ball - and directly<br />between his ball and the green. After several<br />minutes of debating how to hit the shot the old<br />man finally said, "You know, when I was your age<br />I'd hit the ball right over that tree."<br /><br />With that challenge placed before him, the youngster<br />swung hard, hit the ball up, right smack into the top<br />of the tree trunk and it thudded back on the ground<br />not a foot from where it had originally lay.<br /><br />The old man offered one more comment, "Of<br />course, when I was your age that pine tree was<br />only 3 feet tall."
