Tips n° 8 - Guess who is the old Oy Vey Wise Member the following story tells of.    (It's worth 12 p.)

A teenager 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 to complete his homework. Just as he was about to tee off the wise Oy Vey Member shuffled onto the tee and asked if she could accompany the teenager as he was golfing alone.
Not being able to say no, he allowed the wise Oy Vey member to join him.
To his surprise the wise Oy Vey member played fairly quickly. She didn't hit the ball far, but plodded along consistently and didn't waste much time. Finally, they reached the 9th fairway and the teenager found himself with a tough shot.
There was a large pine tree right in front of his ball and it was directly between his ball and the green.
After several minutes of debating how to hit the shot the pld wise Oy Vey member finally said, "You know, it happened to me the same shot when I was your age.  I'd hit the ball right over that tree."
With that challenge placed before him, the teenager 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 wise Oy Vey member offered one more comment, "Of course, when I was your age that pine tree was only 3 feet tall."
