Two strangers were playing golf together. One is a retired businessman and the other a high school kid just taking up the game. On the fifth hole the younger golfer hits his drive into a pond which is about seventy yards out from the tee. "That was my last ball" says the young golfer "do you have a ball I could use?"
The old golfer pulls out a new ball and hands it to the young golfer, who proceeds to hit the second ball in the same place. Again he asks the old golfer for a ball. Again, the young golfer hits the third ball in the same spot.
As the old golfer is pulling out another new ball he says "You know you can play from the point of entry and just take a one stroke penalty, that would make it easier to get all the way over the pond."
"I know," responds the young golfer in frustration "but I'm going to make it over the pond from here if it takes me all day."
"Well these balls are expensive," says the old golfer as he hands over another new ball.
"If you can't afford the game, you shouldn't play," retorts the young golfer.
