Sportsmanship
At mid-point during a game, the coach calls one of his 7-year-old hockey players aside to talk with him.
The coach asks, "Do you understand what cooperation is, and what a team is?" The little boy replies, "Yes."
"Do you also understand that what matters is not whether we win or lose, but how we play together as a team?" The little boy nods his head.
When I Was Your Age
A young man, who was also an avid golfer, found himself with a few hours to spare one afternoon. So he decided to get in 9 holes before he had to head home.
Just as he was about to tee off, an old gentleman walked onto the tee and asked if he could accompany the young man for a twosome. 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 far, but plodded along consistently and didn't waste much time.

The Pine Tree
A young man 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.
Just as he was about to tee off an old gentleman shuffled onto the tee and asked if he could accompany the young man as he was golfing alone. Not being able to say no, he allowed the old gent to join him. To his surprise the old man played fairly quickly. He didn't hit the ball far, but plodded along consistently and didn't waste much time.
Ode to Golf
In my hand I hold a ball,
white and dimpled, rather small.
Oh, how bland it does appear,
this harmless looking little sphere.
By its size, I could not guess,
the awesome strength it does possess.
But since I fell beneath it's spell,
I've wandered through the fires of hell.
