    you better add some quick before more people like me click in to find a distinct lack of jokes!

    One of my favourites:

    A priest, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers.

    Engineer: What's with these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!

    Doctor: I don't know, but I've never seen such slow and crap play!

    Priest: Hey, here comes the greens keeper. Let's have a word with him. [dramatic pause] Hi George. Story with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?

    George: Oh, yes, that's a group of blind fire fighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime.

    The group was silent for a moment.

    Priest: That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight.

    Doctor: Good idea. And I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there's anything he can do for them.

    Engineer: Why can't the feckers play at night?

    Someone died playing golf
    Fred got home from his Sunday round of golf later than normal and very tired. "Bad day at the course?" his wife asked.

    "Everything was going fine," he said. "Then Harry had a heart attack and died on the 10th tee."

    "Oh, that's awful!"

    "You're not kidding. For the whole back nine it was hit the ball, drag Harry, hit the ball, drag Harry."

    The schoolteacher was taking her first golfing lesson.

    "Is the word spelt p-u-t or p-u-t-t?'' she asked the instructor.

    "P-u-t-t is correct,'' he replied.

    "Put means to place a thing where you want it. Putt means merely a vain attempt to do the same thing."

    As a young man, Norton was an exceptional golfer. At the age of 26, however, he decided to become a priest, and joined a rather peculiar order. He took the usual vows of poverty,chastity, but his order also required that he quit golf and never play again. This was particularly difficult for Norton, but he agreed and was finally ordained a priest.

    One Sunday morning, the Reverend Father Norton woke up and realizing it was an exceptionally beautiful and sunny early spring day, decided he just had to play golf.
    So... he told the Associate Pastor that he was feeling sick and convinced him to say Mass for him that day.

    As soon as the Associate Pastor left the room, Father Norton headed out of town to a golf course about forty miles away. This way he knew he wouldn't accidentally meet anyone he knew from his parish.

    Setting up on the first tee, he was alone. After all, it was Sunday morning and everyone else was in church!

    At about this time, Saint Peter leaned over to the Lord while looking down from the heavens and exclaimed, "You're not going to let him get away with this, are you?"

    The Lord sighed, and said, "No, I guess not.

    "Just then Father Norton hit the ball and it shot straight towards the pin, dropping just short of it, rolled up and fell into the hole. It was a 420 yard hole in one!

    St. Peter was astonished. He looked at the Lord and asked, "Why did you let him do that?"

    The Lord smiled and replied,"Who is he going to tell?"

    A below par performance is considered good.

    You can stop in the middle and have a cheeseburger and a couple of beers.

    You can still make money doing it as a senior.

    It's much easier to find the sweet spot.

    Foursomes are encouraged.

    Three times a day is possible.

    Your partner doesn't hire a lawyer if you do it with someone else.

    If your equipment gets old and rusty, you can replace it.

    in a deep belfast accent he replied... "you'd better ****ing not!"

    A priest rushed from church one day to keep a golf date.
    He was halfway down the first fairway, waiting to hit his second shot, when he heard "Fore!" and a ball slammed into his back.

    Soon, the golfer who had made the drive was on the scene to offer his apologies. When the priest assured him that he was all right, the man smiled.

    "Thank goodness, Father!" he exclaimed.

    "I've been playing this game for forty years, and now I can finally tell my friends that I've hit my first holy one!"

    A married man was having an affair with his secretary. One day, their passions overcame them and they took off for her house, where they made passionate love all afternoon. Exhausted from the w**d s*x, they fell asleep and awoke at around 8 p.m. As the man threw on his clothes, he told the woman to take his shoes outside and rub them through the grass and dirt. Mystified, she nonetheless complied and he slipped into his shoes and drove home.
    "Where have you been?" demanded his wife when he entered the house.

    "Darling," replied the man, "I can't lie to you. I've been having an affair with my secretary and we've been having s*x all afternoon. I fell asleep and didn't wake up until eight o'clock."

    The wife glanced down at his shoes and said, "You lying b**tard! You've been playing golf!"

    A guy is playing his usual weekly round on his tod, it's a day the same as any other... After three holes, he's opened Birdie-Par-Eagle to sit three-under par on a golf course for the first time ever in his life.

    The round of his life is beckoning, he's swinging it better than he can ever remember and he's getting that 'once in a lifetime' feeling...

    With that, he hears a vibration in his golf bag... the phone...

    Standing waiting for the fourth fairway to clear, he answers to be met by the chilling voice of a Doctor from the local hospital with some terrible news...

    The mans wife has been in a car accident and is critical in hospital... The Doc asks him if he can come to the hospital straight away... The man says of course...

    Obviously distraught, he puts the phone back in the bag and is about to slouch back to the carpark when he says to himself "Sure, the fourth hole plays back toward the clubhouse, may as well play it on the way down... gather the thoughts an that.."

    So, needless to say, he sends a high, drawing drives crisply down the centre of the fairway... as he reaches the ball, he finds himself considering whether a 7 or an 8 iron is the shot to play, rather than the awful news the Doctor has just given him...

    He chooses a hard 8 and fires his approach 8ft from the pin... the juices are flowing again... as the putt drops into the hole, the man's unfortunate wife has become the furthest thing from his mind.

    Two-and-a-half hours later, the man taps in for a routine par on the 18th with the broadest grin on his face. Eight-under par without a dropped shot and only two missed greens... the round of his life...

    The thought of his poor wife then enters his mind and he rushes to be hospital where he is greeted by the solemn face of the Doc he had spoken to hours before... The Kartel shirt and Ping hat leave the Doc in no doubt why it has taken his patient's spouse so long to reach her bedside...

    "Well I hope you're happy with yourself Mr Smith," the Doc spits...
    "Your wife has suffered horrendous injuries..."

    "Oh God," the man says, suddenly hit hard with the pangs of guilt, "how bad are we talking Doc?"

    "Well, let's put it this way, I hope this round of golf was worth it because it is likely the last you'll play for a long, long time. Your wife will now require round-the-clock care and constant supervision. You won't have time to blow your nose, let alone play golf!"

    "Oh jesus," the man cries, distraught... "that's... awful..."

    The Doc walks up alongside him, jabs him playfully on the arm and says: "Nah, just kiddin - she died! So, what ye shoot?"

    The Police are called to a murder scene at a family home in a leafy suburb...

    When they enter the house, they see the battered body of a young woman. He husband sits at the dining table in the kitchen, staring blankly into space, covered in blood, holding only a golf club...

    A Detective approaches him slowly, sees his dazed expression, and eventually says softly: "Sir, would you like to tell us what happened..."

    "Nagging... always... f*cking nagging..." the man whispers...

    "Come again Sir," the detective asks..

    The man composes himself before explaining: "Every day. Every day I come home from work and she's on my case about some f*cking thing or other; 'we never go anywhere', 'you never buy me anything' blah blah f*cking blah...
    Tonight I'd had enough. She pushed me too far... we were screaming at each other and she threw a vase at me... I reached for the nearest thing to me - my golf bag. I just snapped. Grabbed my putter and hit her with it. Again, again, two, three, four, five, six times.... eh, put me down for a five."

    John and his wife Mary are playing golf... John is in the middle of his best round of the season when he pushes his drive on the par-four 15th well to the right, near the groundskeeper's old, wooden shed...

    On reaching his ball, they're disappointed to find that John has practically no shot. The shed is right in front of him and his only option is to chip out backwards toward the fairway... Disconsolate, he reaches for his wedge when Mary says:
    "Hang on Dear! Look, if we open the door here, there's a big, worn-out hole on the wall of the shed.. You can reach the green if you play through it!"

    "Jesus, ye could be right Luv," he says..

    "Go for it Honey, you've a great card here - I'll hold the door open for you..."

    So John grabs his seven-iron and takes his stance as Mary holds the old creaky door open... However, when John plays the shot, he pulls it slightly out of the rough, causing the ball to catch the edge of the hole, cannon off the wall and belt poor Mary right in the side of the head. Killing her instantly..

    Three years later, John is playing golf with an old friend... They reach the par-four 15th and, once again, John pushes his tee shot to the right, near that old greenskeeper's shed...

    When he reaches his ball, John automatically goes for his wedge to take his medicine and chip back to the fairway...

    "Hang on John," says the pal. "If I hold the door open, you might be able to squeeze the ball through that big hole in the wall, look!"

    "No way Man. No way," John says... "the last time I did that, something horrendous happened..... I made a seven!"

    Two golfers were sitting at the 19th hole discussing their games this year when one says to the other,
    " My game is so bad this year I had to have my ball retriever regripped !"
    ***************************************************


    Whats the difference between a bad golfer and a bad skydiver?
    A bad golfer goes: WHACK..."Damn"! A bad Skydiver goes: "Damn"!...WHACK.

    ********************************************************

    What should you do if your round of golf is interrupted by a lightning storm?
    Walk around holding your 1-iron above your head, because even God can't hit a 1-iron!

    ****************************************************************

    Do you know why there are 18 holes on a golf course?
    Because that's how long it took the Scots who invented the game to finish their bottle of whiskey

    A man got a phone call from his wife at work one day and she asked him to stop at the store and pick up some groceries. Reminding her that this was his golf league night he said he would be happy to go to the store after playing his round of golf.

    After playing golf, he stopped at the store and picked up 2 bags full of groceries. He then proceeded to walk out of the grocery store to his Rolls Royce. Upon reaching his Rolls Royce he found it difficult to reach into his pocket to pull his keys out to open his trunk because his arms were full with two bags of groceries.

    He saw a beautiful women walking nearby and he asked her, "Could you please do me a favour?" "Sure," she replied. He went on to say, "I can't reach into my pocket and get my car keys out to open my trunk and put my groceries away." "Do you think you could reach into my pocket and pull my car keys out?" "No problem," she replied.

    When she pulled the keys out, two golf tees also were pulled out as well and fell to the ground. She bent over and picked them up. Looking at the golf tees in the palm of her hand, somewhat quizzically she asked the man, "Gee, what are these for?" He replied, "Oh, those are to keep my balls in the air while I'm driving." To which she commented, "Boy, those Rolls Royce people think of everything."

    Two men are playing golf at their local club. One is about to chip to the greeen when he sees a funeral procession on the road next to the course. He stops in mid-swing, takes off his cap, closes his eyes and bows in prayer. His friend says: "Wow, that is the most touching thing I have ever seen. You truly are a kind man." The man replies: "Yeah, well, we were married 35 years."

    A guy stood over his tee shot for what seemed an eternity; looking up, looking down, measuring the distance, figuring the wind direction and speed and driving his partner nuts.

    Finally his exasperated partner says, "What's taking so long? Hit the blasted ball."

    The guy answers, "My wife is up there watching me from the clubhouse. I want to make this a perfect shot."

    "Forget it, you don't stand a chance of hitting her from here."

    The poor golfer is planning his approach shot to the green during a particularly bad round. He asks the caddy "will a 7 iron get me there?".

    "Yeah, eventually" is the caddies reply.

    Frank joined a threesome; and as he'd had a very successful day he was invited back the next day for a game at 8 a.m.

    "Look fellers, I'd sure like to play," said Frank, "but I could be two minutes late!"

    Next morning he showed up right on time, played another lovely round but this time he played every stroke left-handed. Again, he was invited to join the threesome at 8 a.m. the following day.

    "Sure, I'll be here," said Frank, "but remember I could be late, but it will only be a couple of minutes!"

    "We'll wait," one of the golfers assured him. "But by the way, could you explain something that's been mystifying us all. Yesterday you played right-handed and today you played left-handed. Obviously you're proficient at both so how do you decided which way to play.'

    "Ah well," Frank answered, "when I wake up in the morning, if my wife's lying on her right side, I play right-handed and if she's lying on her left side, I play left-handed. Simple as that."

    "But what if she's lying on her back?"

    "That's when I'm two minutes late!"

    The two golfers were discussing a bill that Harry the hospital administrator had sent Bill, recent father forthe first time.

    "I mean. £25 use of delivery room's just not on, old man, you know I didn't get the wife there in time and the baby was born on the front lawn.

    Harry leant over, took the bill and crossed out the offending entry and substituted another. "Greens Fee £25", it read.

    MacDonald was aged 80 when, for the first time in his life, he walked into his golf club bar and ordered drinks for everyone

    "What's the occasion, mon?" enquired the stunned bartender. "Hole in one?"

    "No," the old highlander replied, "I've just married a bonnie lass!"

    It was seven months later when MacDonald again strode into the bar and again ordered drinks all round.

    "And what are we celebrating this time?" asked the amazed bartender.

    "Tis the wife, lad, she's just presented me with a baby boy."

    "But you've only been married seven months!"

    "Tis true, 'tis true! Imagine it - two under par and me with a whippy shaft!"

    ... One day this guy, who has been stranded on a desert island all alone for ten years, sees an unusual speck on the horizon. "It's certainly not a ship, "he thinks to himself.

    As the speck gets closer and closer, he begins to rule out the possibilities of a small boat, then even a raft. Suddenly, emerging from the surf comes this drop-dead gorgeous blonde woman wearing a wet suit and scuba gear.

    She approaches the stunned guy and asks, "How long has it been since you've had a cigarette?"

    "Ten years!" he says.

    She reaches over and unzips a waterproof pocket on her left sleeve and pulls out a pack of fresh cigarettes. He takes one, lights it, and takes a long drag, and says, "Man, oh man! Is that ever good!"

    She then asks him, "How long has it been since you've had a sip of good bourbon?"

    Trembling, he replies, "Ten Years!"

    She reaches over, unzips her waterproof pocket on her right sleeve, pulls out a flask, and gives it to him. He opens the flask, takes a long swig, and says, "Wow, that's absolutely fantastic!"

    Then she starts slowly unzipping the long zipper that runs down the front of her wet suit, looks at him seductively and asks, "And how long has it been since you've played around?"

    The guy, with tears in his eyes, replies, "Oh sweet Jesus! ...Don't tell me you've got golf clubs in there!"

    A man staggers into an emergency room with a concussion, multiple bruises, two black eyes and a five iron wrapped tightly around his throat.

    Naturally, the doctor asks him what happened.

    "Well, it was like this," said the man, "I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife, when at a difficult hole we both sliced our balls into a pasture of cows. We went to look for them. While I was rooting around I noticed one of the cows had something white at it's rear end. I walked over and lifted up the tail, and sure enough there was a golf ball with my wife's monogram on it --stuck right in the middle of the cow's butt. That's when I made my BIG mistake."

    "What did you do?" asks the doctor.

    "Well, I lifted the cow's tail and yelled to my wife, Hey, this looks like yours!" I don't remember much after that.

    An amateur golfer is one who addresses the ball twice: once before swinging, and once again after swinging.

    Jesus and Moses are playing golf. On the 5th hole, a shot over water to an island green, Moses hits his 6-iron and it lands perfectly on the green. Jesus takes out his 7-iron and begins tee-ing it up.

    Moses says: "The 7 isn't enough club. It'll go in the water"

    Jesus replies: "If Tiger Woods can do it, I can do it."

    He swings the 7-iron and sure enough, straight in the drink. He tees up a second ball and grabs his 7-iron again. Again Moses reminds him of his previous attempt and Jesus says, "If Tiger Woods can do it, I can do it." "PLOP" in the water, it goes again. He continues this until he has hit all his golf balls into the water. At this point, he begins walking out on the water looking down to locate his lost golf balls. The foursome behind them approaches the tee, spots Jesus out on the lake and says to Moses, "Hey, who does that guy think he is, Jesus Christ?"

    Moses replies, "No, Tiger Woods."

    A golfer hit his drive on the first hole 300 yards right down the middle. When it came down, however, it hit a sprinkler and the ball went sideways into the woods. He was angry, but he went into the woods and hit a very hard 2 iron which hit a tree and bounced back straight at him.

    It hit him in the temple and killed him. He was at the Pearly Gates and St. Peter looked at the big book and said, "I see you were a golfer, is that correct?""Yes, I am," he replied. St. Peter then said, "Do you hit the ball a long way?"The golfer replied, "You bet. After all, I got here in 2, didn't I?"

    One night a thief breaks into The Valhalla Golf Club's pro shop in the middle of the night. Fumbling through the titanium drivers, he hears a voice say

    "Jesus is watching you, Jesus is watching you."

    He proceeds to fill his bags with the clubs and other expensive merchandise. While making his way to the sweatshirts, hats, etc., he hears...

    "Jesus is watching you".

    Baffled, he looks around with his flashlight and sees a parrot.

    He looks at the beautiful creature and says "What kind of jerk would have a bird like you in a pro shop like this?"

    The bird cocked his head slightly and replied, "The same one that named the pit bull Jesus!"

    After church one Sunday, one of the congregants walked up to the priest and said, "Father, is it a sin to play golf on Sunday?

    "My son," said the priest, putting his hand on the man's shoulder, "I've seen you play golf. It's a sin any day."

    Stevie Wonder & Jack Nicklaus

    Stevie Wonder and Jack Nicklaus are in a bar. Nicklaus turns to Wonder and says, "How is the singing career going?"

    Stevie Wonder says, "Not too bad, the latest album has gone into the top 10, so all in all I think it is pretty good. By the way how is the golf."

    Nicklaus replies: "Not too bad, I am not winning as much as I used to but I'm still making a bit of money. I have some problems with my swing but I think I've got that right now."

    "I always find that when my swing goes wrong I need to stop playing for a while and think about it, then the next time I play it seems to be all right," says Stevie.

    "You play golf!?" asks Jack.
    Stevie says, "Yes, I have been playing for years."

    "But I thought you were blind; how can you play golf if you are blind?" Jack asks.

    "I get my caddie to stand in the middle of the fairway and he calls to me. I listen for the sound of his voice and play the ball towards him, then when I get to where the ball lands the caddie moves to the green or further down the fairway and again I play the ball towards his voice," explains Stevie.

    "But how do you putt?" Nicklaus wondered.

    "Well," says Stevie, "I get my caddie to lean down in front of the hole and call to me with his head on the ground and I just play the ball to the sound of his voice."

    Nicklaus says, "What is your handicap?"

    "Well, I play off scratch," Stevie assures Jack. Nicklaus is incredulous and says to Stevie, "We must play a game sometime."

    Wonder replies, "Well, people don't take me seriously so I only play for money, and I never play for less than $100,000 a hole."

    Nicklaus thinks it over and says, "OK, I'm up for that. When would you like to play?"

    "I don't care - any night next week is OK with me."

    Why single men are thinner

    I attended a golf convention in London over the winter and was somewhat interested in the result of one particular study performed on golfers; specifically I was interested in late afternoon league golfers. This study indicated that the single gentlemen who play in these leagues are "skinnier" than the married ones.

    The reason for this phenomenon was quite simple when we finally found the answer. The single golfer goes out and plays his round of golf, has a "refreshment" at the 19th hole, goes home and goes to his refrigerator. He finds nothing decent there, so he goes to bed. The married golfer goes out and plays his round of golf, has a "refreshment" at the 19th hole, goes home and goes to bed, finds nothing decent there, so he goes to his refrigerator.

    Black Balls

    A Scot and an American were talking about playing golf during the various seasons of the year. "In most parts of the USA we cannot play in the winter time. We have to wait until spring," the American said.

    "Why, in Scotland we can even play in the winter time. Snow and cold are no object to us," said the Scot.

    "Well, what do you do; paint your balls black," asked the American.

    "No", said the Scot "we just put on an extra sweater or two."

    Hey, George, did you hear the awful news about John?" The two golfers were talking over a drink in the club bar.

    "No what happened to him.'"

    "Well he had a great round on Wednesday - under seventy I heard - anyway he finished early and drove home, and found his wife in bed with another man! No questions asked... he just shot 'em both! Isn't it terrible?"

    "Could have been worse," George commented.

    "How?"

    "If he'd finished early on Tuesday, he would have shot me!"

    In the 16th century, most everything was transported by ship and it was also before the invention of commercial fertilizer, so largeshipments of manure were common.

    It was shipped dry, because it weighedless but once water hit it, fermentation began which produced methane gasas a by-product.
    The manure was stored in bundles below deck and once wet with sea water, methane began to build up.

    The first time someone came below at night with a lantern.... BOOOOM!

    Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined just what had happened. Afterwards, the bundles of manure were stamped with the term "Ship High In Transit" which directed the crew to stow it in the upper decks so that any water that came into the hold would not reach this volatile cargo and produce the explosive gas.

    Thus evolved the term "S.H.I.T " (Ship High In Transit) which has come down through the centuries and is still in use today. You probably did not know the true history of this word.

    Neither did I. I always thought it was a golf term

    One golfer tells another: "Hey, guess what! I got a set of golf clubs for my wife!"
    The other replies: "That's a GREAT trade!"

    An avid golfer goes to see a fortune teller to enquire if there are any golf courses in heaven. "I have good news and bad news" she tells the golfer. "Whats the good news?" asks the golfer "The good news sir is that the courses in heaven are spectacular, without doubt better than anything you have ever seen on earth." "Whats the bad news then?" he asks "You have a tee time at 8:30 tomorrow morning."

    I think that I shall never see
    a hazard rougher than an tree;
    A tree o'er which my ball must fly
    if on the green it is to lie;
    A tree which stands that green to guard,
    and makes the shot extremely hard;
    A tree whose leafy arms extend
    to kill the six iron shot I send;
    A tree that stands in silence there,
    while angry golfers rave and swear.
    Irons were made for fools like me
    who cannot ever miss a tree.

    God as a Golf Coach

    A golfer, now into his golden years, had a lifelong ambition to play the 17th hole at Sawgrass exactly the way the pros do it. The pros drive the ball out over the water onto the small green that is on a small spit of land.

    It was something he had tried hundreds of times without success. His ball had always fallen short, into the water. Because of this, he never used a new ball on this particular hole. He always picked out one that had a cut or a nick, as did many other "average" golfers when negotiating very challenging holes.

    Recently he went to Sawgrass to try again. When he came to the fateful hole, he teed up an old cut ball as usual, and said a silent prayer.

    However, before he could hit it, a powerful voice from above seemed to be booming out from the clouds, saying,

    "WAIT...REPLACE THAT OLD BALL WITH A BRAND-NEW ONE."

    He complied, with some slight misgiving, despite the fact that this same force seemed to be implying that he was going to finally achieve his lifelong ambition.

    As he stepped up to the tee once more, the voice came down again,
    "WAIT. STEP BACK... TAKE A PRACTICE SWING."

    So he stepped back and took a practice swing, certain now that this heavenly force was going to make his dream come true.

    The voice boomed out again,

    "TAKE ANOTHER PRACTICE SWING."

    Dutifully, he did. He stopped expectantly and waited...

    A long silence followed.......

    Then the voice again:

    "USE THE OLD BALL."

    Moshe and Rebecca make a vow that whoever dies first would come back and inform the other of the after-life. Their fear is that there is no after-life.
    Many, many years later, Moshe dies and true to his word, he makes contact.
    "Rebecca …. Rebecca," he says, "can you hear me?"
    "Is that you, Moshe?" asks Rebecca.
    "Yes, Becky," he replies, "I've come back, just as we agreed."
    "So what's it like, Moshe?" asks Rebecca.
    "Well Becky, it’s like this," replies Moshe. "Every morning, I get up and have sex. I have breakfast and then off to the golf course where I have sex. I sunbathe and then have sex twice. I have lunch, another romp around the golf course, then sex all afternoon. After dinner, it’s the golf course again, then I have sex until late. It likes this every day."
    "Oh Moshe," says Rebecca, "you really must be in heaven."
    "Not exactly, Becky," says Moshe, "I'm a rabbit on the Hampstead Garden Suburb golf course."

    There was a threesome of men warming up on the first tee at Pebble Beach, when a very pretty young woman came up and asked if she could join them in their round. They asked what her handicap was and she told them it was a 4. They said they'd be happy to have her join the group and she told them how she had always wanted to play Pebble Beach and what a very special day this was for her. When the round began it quickly became clear that she was quite a good golfer. She hit the ball beautifully and she showed exceptional skill in all aspects of the game. Throughout the round she told the other members of the group that it had been her life-long dream to play Pebble Beach and to have a great round. She certainly was doing that, as after 17 holes she was at even par for the day. She teed off and hit a terrific drive right down the middle of the fairway. Her second shot landed on the green about four and a half feet from the pin -- but it was a very difficult, side-hill lie.

    She studied her putt for a few moments, then she walked over to where the men were observing. "You know," she said, "this is a very special day for me. I've always wanted to have a great round at Pebble Beach and now I have the chance to birdie the course. This really means a lot to me, and if any of you can tell me the best way to sink this putt, there's thirty minutes of the best sex you've ever had in your life in it for you!" Well, the first man ran over and said, "You know, I had this exact putt about two weeks ago and I can tell you that the best way to putt it is to hit it hard about 5 inches above the cup." The second man pushed him out of the way and said, "No way! I've had this putt many times and I know that the best thing to do is to hit it soft about 10 inches high of the cup." The third man walked up and said, "Don't listen to either of them." He then picked up her ball and handed it to her and said, "That's a gimme!

    Two friends were playing golf when one pulled out a cigar. He didn't have a lighter, so he asked his friend if he had one. 'I sure do,' he replied while he reached into his golf bag and pulled out a 12-inch Bic lighter.

    'Wow!' said his friend, 'Where did you get that monster lighter?'

    'I got it from my genie.'

    'You have a genie?'

    'Yes, right here in my golf bag.'

    'Could I see him?'

    He opens his golf bag and out pops a genie. The friend asks the genie, 'Since, I'm a good friend of your master, will you grant me one wish?'

    'Yes I will'' the genie replies.

    The friend asks the genie for a million bucks. The genie hops back into the golf bag and leaves him standing there, waiting for his million bucks. Suddenly, the sky begins to darken and the sound of a million ducks flying overhead is heard.

    The friend tells his golfing partner, 'I asked for a million bucks, not a million ducks!'

    He answers,'I forgot to tell you that the genie is hard of hearing. Do you really think I asked him for a 12 inch Bic?'

    Bill, Ralph, and Fred gathered for a round of golf on Mother's Day. The men were quite surprised at being "let go" for the day, and each wanted to know how the other got away from their wife.

    Fred said, "I purchased a dozen red roses for my wife, and she was so happy that she let me go."

    Ralph said, "I purchased a diamond ring for my wife, and she was so thrilled with me that she let me go."

    Bill said, "I woke up this morning, rolled over, looked at my wife, and said to her: `Golf course or inter-course,' and she said: 'I'll put your clubs in the car'."

    A foursome of senior golfers hit the course with waning enthusiasm for the sport. "These hills are getting steeper as the years go by," one complained.

    "These fairways seem to be getting longer too," said one of the others.

    "The sand traps seem to be bigger than I remember them too," said the third senior.

    After hearing enough from his Senior buddies, the oldest, and the wisest of the four of them at 87 years old, piped up and said, "Just be thankful we're still on the right side of the grass!"

    Watching from the Club house overlooking the 10 green, we saw a foursome approaching. Having marked their balls, suddenly one of the guys fell down and the three others started a fist fight.

    The Golf Captain stormed out from the Club house to separate the fighting men.

    "Why are you fighting?" he asked "You see," said one of them, "my partner had a stroke and died just now, and these buggers want to include it on the scorecard."

    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 nine 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. Finally, they reached the 9th fairway and the young man found himself with a tough shot. There was a large pine tree right in front of his ball - and directly between his ball and the green.

    After several minutes of debating how to hit the shot the old man finally said, "You know, when I was your age I'd hit the ball right over that tree."

    With that challenge placed before him, the youngster swung hard, hit the ball up, right smack into the top of the tree trunk and it thudded back on the ground not a foot from where it had originally lay.

    The old man offered one more comment, "Of course, when I was your age that pine tree was only three feet tall."

    A man was walking in the city, when he was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking bum who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner.

    The man took out his wallet, extracted two dollars and asked, "If I gave you this money, will you take it and buy whiskey?"

    "No, I stopped drinking years ago," the bum said.

    "Will you use it to gamble?"

    "I don't gamble. I need everything I can get just to stay alive."

    "Will you spend the money on greens fees at a golf course?"

    "Are you NUTS! I haven't played golf in 20 years!"

    The man said, "Well, I'm not going to give you two dollars. Instead, I 'm going to take you to my home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife."

    The bum was astounded. "Won't your wife be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty bad."

    The man replied, "That's OK. I just want her to see what a man looks like who's given up drinking, gambling, and golf."

    Mildred, shut up" cried the golfer at his nagging wife, "Shut up or you'll drive me out of my mind."

    "That," said Mildred, "wouldn't be a drive, it would be a short putt."
