A YOUNG MAN WHO WAS 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 NINE HOLES BEFORE HE HAD TO HEAD HOME. JUST AS HE WAS ABOUT TO TEE OFF AN OLD GENTLEMAN SHUFFLED UP TO HIM AND ASKED IF HE COULD ACCOMPANY THE YOUNG MAN AS HE WAS GOLFING ALONE. NOT BEING ABLE TO SAY NO, HE ALLOWED THE OLD MAN TO JOIN HIM. TO HIS SURPRISE THE OLD MAN PLAYED FAIRLY QUICKLY. HE DIDN’T HIT THE BALL VERY FAR BUT HE PLODDED ALONG AND DIDN'T WASTE MUCH TIME. WHEN THEY REACHED THE NINTH HOLE THE YOUNG MAN FOUND HIMSELF WITH A TOUGH SHOT. A LARGE PINE TREE STOOD DIRECTLY BETWEEN HIS BALL AND THE GREEN. AFTER THE YOUNG MAN SPENT SEVERAL MINUTES OF DEBATING ON HOW TO HIT THE BALL THE OLD MAN SAID, "YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE I HIT THE BALL RIGHT OVER THAT VERY TREE." WITH THAT CHALLENGE THE YOUNG MAN SWUNG HARD, HIT THE BALL UP AND RIGHT SMACK INTO THE TOP OF THE TREE AND IT THUDDED RIGHT BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND BY HIS FEET. THE OLD MAN THEN OFFERED ONE MORE COMMENT, "OF COURSE, WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE THAT PINE TREE WAS ONLY THREE FEET HIGH." *BITS 'N PIECES* CITY COUNCIL – AUG. 4 TH 7PM FOOD PANTRY – AUGUST 6 TH LEGION – AUG. 5 TH AT 8PM CITY BETTERMENT MEETING – AUG 18 TH AT 8:15AM AT THE DINER ***************************** CHURCH NEWS HOPE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH SERVICES HELD EVERY SUNDAY AT 9AM PASTOR FRANK PICARD BIBLE STUDY – AUGUST 7 TH AT 2PM WOMENS SOCIETY – AUGUST 10 TH AFTER THE CHURCH SERVICE FIRST LUTHERAN CHURCH SERVICES HELD EVERY SUNDAY AT 11AM PASTOR MARY MISKA LADIES AID – AUGUST 14 RD 2PM NORWICH LUTHERAN CHURCH SERVICES HELD EVERY SUNDAY AT 9AM PASTOR MARY MISKA LADIES AID – AUGUST 7 TH AT 2PM**		**ATTA BOY AWARDS* OUR "ATTA BOY" AWARDS GO TO CLAYTON EBERT.
