Another religious golfing joke. (I hope this one hasn't been on here before!) Pardon the terminology, I'm not a golfer...
There was this Protestant Preacher who had always promised God he wouldn't golf on Sunday, the Lord's Day. But on this particular Sunday it was beautiful out, and as a confirmed golfing addict the fact that he hadn't golfed in several weeks was truly unbearable. So he decided he could get to the local course at 6 AM, golf just a little, and make it into church by 9 AM.
Now, Saint Peter up in heaven was aghast when he read the preacher's thoughts! He piously turned to God and declared, "This is intolerable!" God replied, "Don't worry, I'll teach him a lesson not to golf on Sunday again..."
So...the preacher snuck out to the golf course, and for some reason no one else was there playing yet! What great luck! He went out to start playing, took a few practice swings, then hit the ball. It sailed up into the beautiful morning air, landed near the hole... and rolled in. A hole-in-one shot!!
Now Saint Peter turned to God in disgust and said, "I thought you were going to punish him!!! That's not punishing him...you gave him a hole-in-one." God gave Saint Peter one of his all-knowing smiles - probably more like a smirk - and omnipotently replied, "Sure it is! Who is going to believe he really made a hole-in-one?! No one else saw it!!"

P.S. I really should know what all those places on the golf course are called. Like the place you hit the ball from, and the place you hit the ball to...etc. |
