I bet I can guess your exact age based solely on how much golf you like to play per week.

Don't believe me? Try this and you'll be amazed:

How many rounds of golf would you like to play during an average five-day week? (choose from 1 through 9 rounds)

Multiply this number by 2.

Add 5.

Now multiply the result by 50.

If you have already had your birthday this year, add 1,759.
