Sam Snead was playing golf when he was in his 60's with I think Johnny Bench his rookie year. They get to a dogleg. Sam says, " hey rookie, when I was your age, I could hit it over the trees and cut the corner."
Bench tees it up, hits it for all he's worth, and can't clear the trees, about 50 feet high. He tries three more times and can't hit it over the trees.
Sam looks at him and says, "when I was your age, those trees were about 8 feet high!"
