A young man was playing golf with a much older gentleman. They reached the 9th fairway and the young man was faced with a very difficult shot. There was a large pine tree directly between his ball and the green. After several minutes the older gentleman chided him, "When I was your age I could hit the ball right over that tree." Feeling the challenge the young man swung very hard and hit the ball. It hit the tree trunk squarely and landed just a foot from where it had previously laid. In consolation the older man says, "Of course, when I was your age that pine tree was only 3 feet tall."
