Golf Joke

[Amelia]

Jesus, Moses, and an old man are golfing.

Jesus steps up to the tee and hits the ball. It goes sailing over the fairway

and lands in the water trap. Jesus just walks on the water and chips the ball

onto the green.

Moses steps up to the tee and hits the

ball. It goes sailing over the fairway and lands in the water trap. Moses parts

the water and chips the ball onto the green.

The old man steps up to the tee and hits the ball. It goes sailing over the

fairway and heads for the water trap. But just before it falls into the water, a

fish jumps up and grabs the ball in its mouth. As the fish is falling back down

into the water, an eagle swoops down and grabs the fish in its claws. The eagle

flies off over the green, where a lighting bolt shoots from the sky and barely

misses it. Startled, the eagle drops the fish. When the fish hits the ground,

the ball pops out of its mouth and rolls into the hole for a hole-in-one.

Jesus then turns to the old man and says, "Dad, if you don't stop fooling around we won't bring you next time."

Hmmm - two ministers of (insert denomination here) went golfing on a fine Wednesday morning - as was their weekly custom.

The older, silver haired, calm minister played a steady game, consistently par or just over.

The younger was more excitable - and erratic. Sometimes he would get close to the hole a couple of strokes under par - and then choke, miss the hole, and (invariably) would exclaim "D--n, missed!", to the "tut-tut" glance of his elder colleague.

After some months of this, the elder decided to gently prod his junior and said "Is that language that you think Jesus would use?". It did no good, the exclamations continued.

On the anniversary of their first game, the pattern continued, but the elder strengthened his chastisement commenting "God will do something to correct this evil habit if you don't break it".

On the second anniversary, on the 15th hole, on the 4th "D--n, missed" and ignored-corrective comment and bolt of lightning came, from out of the blue, and hit the elder, silver haired, minister...

and, from the sky, a voice said "D--n, missed!"
