"Mad Golfer"
The other day I was playing golf and saw
an unusual thing. A golfer became so mad
that he threw his brand new set of golf clubs
into the lake.
A few minutes later he came back, waded
into the lake, and retrieved his clubs. He
proceeded to take his car keys out of the bag --
then threw the clubs back into the water.

"Pine Tree"
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 let the old
gent 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."
